Thanks for the info did u do all 5 windows with tint for 200 bucks ..I can't wait to Black out mine !

i have a guy in chicago, that does it for 100 all around.. any % tint and warranties the job for 2 years!!!! he is awsome, we all use him here in chiacago, about 30 of us (diff cars) never chargers over 170, (depending on sizeo of windows..) i paid 100 for all windows in my car.

example.. last year a friend got his car done, and lowered his window by accident (while tint was less than 24hrs installed), of course it peeled the tint. my guy came out next day and replaced for FREE!!!

catch is he does it as a side job and uses 3m mateirals!!! i cannot mention where he works as i dont want to get him in trouble but he goes to your house and does it in your garage or you can come to his house.. close by midway airport. anyone interested pm me

Bill Jacobs in Joliet tried to rip me off, $450 for tinting all but front window, Holy Crap was angry with that douchbag!!!

CRYMFTR265 · 07-01-2010, 10:59 PM

I sent you a message. I think he is full of shit. I payed $250.00 just a couple of months ago at Bill Jacobs. Who ever he was at Jacobs quoted you the tint price for a 4 door Cadillac getting tinted all the way around.
If you want I can stop by and talk to someone for you. I need to stop by and make my weekly visit anyway. I will send you a message tomorrow when I find out what the deal is with that guy that quoted you so high.
What was that guys name that you spoke with?

CRYMFTR265 · 07-02-2010, 04:40 PM

Tom,

You are good to go at Bill Jacobs. I sent you a private message. $250.00, 35 Percent, 3m and lifetime warranty. That other guy you spoke with doesn't have a clue as to what he is talking about. I hope this helps you.

MTMTE · 07-02-2010, 06:09 PM

I'll let everyone else know how it goes when I get it done.

speedy_g · 07-07-2010, 08:37 AM

I just got mine put on 35% all around 200 bucks at mid America tint in schamburg vary happy life time warranty

MTMTE · 07-09-2010, 09:12 AM

Got my windows tinted at Bill Jacobs in Joliet for 250,

THANK YOU CRYMFYTR!!!

Even the service guy wasn't very happy to give me the 250 price, good luck to whoever tries though.

I have also included some pics so that all of us IL'S can see how 35 tint looks on the G5.

CRYMFTR265 · 07-09-2010, 11:45 AM

I'm glad that you are happy with the tint job. The guy that they use does really good work but to try to push the job off on you for $450.00? Not!!!
That service guy was probably trying to pocket $200.00 and wasn't happy that I talked to my people at the dealership. Just don't open the windows for atleast 3 days so that it could dry well.
With the Camaro its amazing how 35 percent looks so dark! Enjoy and see you around!

MTMTE · 07-12-2010, 05:28 AM

So when I went to pick the car up the next day, the guy that drove the car around for me, showed up with the windows down. I almost killed him. I immediately put them up, and they've been there ever since. Luckily no damage!!

blackknight · 07-12-2010, 09:59 PM

I need to find a good shop in Champaign Illinois to do this on mine. i want about 35%.

Kocapuff · 11-03-2010, 03:34 PM

I just had my 2011 RS SS Camaro tinted with 35% all 5 windows for $195.00 at J & S Auto in Wilmington, IL. A very good guy that's been tinting windows for 15 years. Used one piece in back window and a awesome job and great price! J&S Auto (815) 476-5001, 205 School Street, Wilmington, IL (south of Joliet, IL) Right off of good old Route 66. Honestly this guy is good and a good price. My friend has all 6 of his cars tinted by him. Hope this helps.
