whatever is legal in your state is a good starting point but ask around to see how much the local law enforcement will allow you to get away with. I have 35 but wish I had gone with 20! I paid 100 at a place near here but that is not the norm. probably looking at 200 to 400 in most cases.

NY is always a little pricey but make sure You get a good quility tint that will last and the most I will ever pay is $200 . The Camaro windows are small which you would think it should cost less but in reality its a pain in the ass to do the camaro's of lack of manueverabilty . Also ask if they are going to use one piece for the back or break it up into 2 or 3 pieces . I would rather a good tint guy do a 1 piece back window .

My regular guy did My Cadi three years ago and I asked Him for a price on my Lincoln both four dour luxury cars and it was $150 . The other day I drove the SS over to the shop and he gave me some BS that he wanted to use high end quality tint which was a $250 job . I have been using this guy for 16 years and I would have him rather say hey listen price went up gas is thru the roof I know You aint broke so I have to charge You $250 instead of feeding me a line of BS that he was going to use a high end product that he didnt't use in my other two cars which are more expensive and I use for family shit like keeping the sun out of my kids eyes . Just watch what they say ask what tint they are using and how much UV rays they block out . I would rather pay more for someone using better film than the same shit on everyone elses car .

No more than three hundred factors to look at is the brand of tint the windows you plan to cover and their rates I had my BMW sedan tinted four windows for 175 two years ago they are still dark and they havent bubbled. On the camaro it was about 200 due to the small rears.

250 for all 5 windows done in 35% ceramic. Then 135 for the whole windshield (not the strip but the whole thing) done with 50% ceramic.

Agreed.

I need to look at tint as well. I'll probably look at some local shops.

I'm gonna say to try and get it for 200 or less but that's just me. You also want to get the best so paying more might be a good idea. I paid over three hundred for my Lexus but I have double layered on all the back windows. Double 15% is not hard to see through but it is black from the outside.
