Window Tint how much did you pay? - Toyota Yaris Forums

brpnagger · 06-25-2007, 07:32 PM

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.

RShatchback · 06-25-2007, 07:34 PM

thats way too much - it shouldnt be more than like 120-25, I think i paid 115 before tax.....keep shopping.

thomasward00 · 06-26-2007, 12:09 AM

I paid 150.00, with 35% on the Front windows and 15% on the rear doors, back window and front strip, check out my garage.

BailOut · 06-26-2007, 12:23 AM

I paid $135 for 6% on the sides, back, and top of the windshield, and 30% on the front windows.

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!!!!

cali yaris · 06-26-2007, 02:20 AM

$140 from the best place I know of, Tintmasters on Canoga Ave. I know a guy in the Valley that will do it for $80.

$130 for quantum tint on every window including the visor on the front. lifetime warranty. shop around!

PS my guy cuts it cleaner than anyone i have ever seen.

Doc Zaius · 06-26-2007, 03:33 AM

falkor_99 · 06-26-2007, 03:33 AM

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-26-2007, 03:38 AM

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.

ECHOKnight2000 · 06-26-2007, 11:19 AM

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!

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.

RShatchback · 06-26-2007, 11:41 AM

Mine is 20% all the way around - Lifetime guarantee

nqd · 06-26-2007, 11:42 AM

i "took" it off, so i can appeal it....still waiting for the court date

nqd · 06-26-2007, 11:50 AM

What can ya do....just dont do anything stupid and cops wont bug ya...im thinking of putting 55% on afterwards just to have it .... where are you getting it done?

blacksan · 06-26-2007, 11:55 AM
