Going to get the windows tinted law here in NC is 35% just curious as to what others have paid to get it done. I was quoted at $170 for our 3 door hatch back with lifetime warranty.

WOW! Incredible prices, I wish we had shops around here that did it for that much! I called today and was quoted a minimum of $250 for the liftback and only a 5 year warranty. The best stuff with lifetime warranty was around $350!!!!:thumbdown:

MA rules say 35% all the way around... How much trouble do you think I could get in to with 15-20% on the rear and 35% on the front?


recently i got a ticket ($250) for the same set up. I had "35%" and "20%". but when the cop put the meter on it, it was 26% because the windows already have a tint on it that you can barely see. if your gonna do it be careful and i suggest superior tint in saugus if your around that area. nice guys and good prices

I paid 185 to have mine brought to 30% light pene at Gjerdes in the Twin Cities, MN. 7 year warranty. This guy did a spectacular job and I love it. He will go as far as 2.5%, but you have to sign a waver cause it is illegal there.

I got my 30% tint all the way around $220 I believe. Just remember the age old saying, you get what you paid for. So if it looks too good to be true then it probably is, you have to think long term and how long is the tint going to last, or decently last to get your money's worth. Good luck!

The question is... did he stop you BECAUSE OF the tint, or did he just decide to be nice and toss in another ticket? :wink:

Do you think you would have gotten away with it if it was a straight 20% (I might throw on 25% to balance the 5% already on there).

a couple of my friends were hanging out in a parking lot... talking...cop came by and started giving us tickets.

I paid $200 for my 35% reflective tint. It comes with a lifetime warranty as long as I own the vehicle. I shopped around and prices ranged from 200-250, depending on the area.

I wish they would have . . . but like all dealer installed aftermarket things . . . if it screws up, they have to fix it . . . i love having them put things in the contract.:smoking:

Tint of any color, shade you want costs around 5-7$ (total for all windows) over here in Pakistan, thats with "install". There is obv no warranty or anything but there is rarely anything to worry about. Plus, Its nice being able to get fresh ones put on every couple months, esp when the police can stop you and rip em right off without question!

Doesnt happen often, but ive seen them bust out a razor blade and just go at it lol, no joke.

haha same here In Lebanon, cops rip off tint for fun here. I payed 30bucks cuz the person that did it for me does it for the local car dealers..couldve done it for 5$ in some ghetto place if I wanted to.



EDIT:

And it's extremely ridiculous that some people here are being charged over 200$ for tint, when the tint itself costs less than 10$.
