The title says it all. I had my sedan tinted with lifetime gurantee for Under $300. This is for 5 windows. I was suprised when quoted $300 (two windows & hatch)for the Vett. What are you guys paying?
 
I paid $150 & that included a strip of limo tint across the top of the windshield.

FWIW, I'd shop around a bit if I were you.
 
JEFNLSA did that include having to remove old tint, or just put on new?

I recently had mine done, original quote was 180 to do the tinting, 125 to remove all of the old tint. The side window's I removed myself, the hatch I let the pro do to make sure I didn't pull off some of the defroster. I know he still cleaned and prepped the side windows a little, total with tax included ended up coming to about 240$ when it was finished.

I do think I could have had it done cheaper at a couple of other places here, but the guy I went to I know has been doing it for about 20+ years and has an incredible reputation when it comes to tinting glass.
 
Jeff,

Besides the front windshield, do you guys down in the sun have any restrictions on tints?

The car had no tint on it when I bought it.
Good point on the tint removal, that I'm sure would have raised the price some.

Although the law allows for up to 35% on the sides, I have 20%. Heck many cars here have 5% on the sides...very common. They don't mess w/ you much on tint here because of the heat. 5% (limo tint) is legal on the rear here and is what I have.

Jeff,

I was just looking at the side pic of your car. The dark look really goes together very well!

What color are your calipers?
 
More than 35% on the front windows will get you a ticket in Missouri. And no one ever drives over the speed limit here, and if you belive any of that, I've got one about the three bears you'll love!

Thx Edmond. :beer

Keep in mind that that pic is a chop that I did when I ordered my wheels. I haven't taken any new pics since I had the wheels put on - or the GS calipers for that matter - but will very soon. I love the black on black look and the car looks great now...actually much better than the chop pic shows, esp. w/ the GS calipers showing and I have the correct GS center caps for wheels on now too. The caps are black w/ a chrome ring and the C4 emblem in the center. Looks really good man...the whole package w/ the black paint, GS wheels & the GS calipers looks like it should have come from the factory...as an option or something. Like the LT4 Stealth or something. :L
