35% window tint

I just made an appointment here at a local shop to have 35% window tint installed next tuesday on my camaro. its gonna cost around $275.

I kinda feel like its a little steep price. but i was told this place is the best tinter around my area.

Anybody have any thoughts or comments?

Oh and post some pics of your 35% tinted rides!

Seems to be a normal price for this area.

Here are two shots from last winter when I had it done...

When you get tint there are different types of film. You should ask what type you sre getting for that price. I paid about $250 if I remember for ceramic film, which at the time was top quality. Keeps max heat out. Plus of course lifetime warranty

I paid $225 here in Canada so a quality tint with quality installation seems fair. With a quality product and a good installer, the tint should be applied right up to the edge of glass (no gaps). Here is mine.

I paid $120 for 35% on the sides and 15% on the rear and quarters. But that was also a hook up through a friend from high school.

The place is called Riggs Brothers. If you Google it, it should come right up. They have several locations in the Chicago Suburbs. The one i am going to is in St. Charles, IL.

I Think the guy was saying that the $275 was the highest quality tint they have, idk what kind but ill be sure to ask. And then also he said it comes with a lifetime warranty. Which is nice.

And whoever said something about gaps. I agree but cant the film begin to peel if it is right up on the edge of the glass? thats why they move it down a bit.
