Tint
i've never purchased a new car so i don't know what the process is. how do you go about getting the windows tinted? is it something done at the factory? is it dealer installed? does the dealer call a local tinting shop to come in to do the work? or do you just go to the tint shop after you pick up your car?
also, what would be the cheapest, and what would be the way for best quality?

dont go cheap on tint...
talk to people who have tinted windows & ask them, look at their cars, then go to a couple of tint shops to check out their work, after you pick up your car, then bring it there yourself... expect to pay $1,000,000 for a tint job that will last & look great, it also should come with a waranty edited my price range Last edited by baileyrx; 10-28-2008 at 04:58 PM. |

Yes, Do not go cheap on tint, cause it won't last. Make sure you look at some of their work before you let them touch your car. Most importantly the work should look stock, clean, and professional.

Don't go cheap, but 350-500 really is up there.
For good tint, I mean the type that will not fade and actually is GOOD, expect about $200 for the job. And, I say this for a 2 door with rear window....not a 4 door. I'm going to be doing my usual limo in the back and as dark as I can go on the sides along w/a strip across the top of the windshield down to the ASL line. I have a guy here that will do it for $190. |

Price also depends on if it already has a tint on it. Meaning, I have a light tint on my windows but I wanna go darker. They'll charge more for having to remove my tint and put on a darker one. Which raises the question, what will stock tint be on the '10s??
