tinting laws depend on the state. It cost me 150 bucks to tint my car. 250 seems a little high.

$250.00 is too high, there is a local shop here ion NY that will do any sedan for $99

Only 2 places near me that tint windows. One charges $250.00 and the other $225.00. I could do it myself. Saw a kit on the Net for $79.95. The pieces are all cut out ready to install. But wanted some kind of warranty that the shops provide. My warranty kinda sucks.
Someone has to have pic or two. Let me see them. Please[8D]

I have tinted my windows, it is a fun time. I bought my tint at Walmart. Each state has different laws in different car/truck. In MN the law is you can have it dark as you if you have a Van or a SUV in the rear windows. But it you have a car or a truck it is 35% limit.

1. The best way to do it is to buy the pre-cut tint. That is half of the battle.

2. Mix a solition with water and dish soap. Lemon Joy works well.

-Spray generiously

3. Then smooth out (i like using a old credit card)

good tip.....

If you can leave the car in the same area/temp as you installed the tint. Like overnight before driving the tint will stick and look better.

Thanks for the picture, same color car I have.
Around the outside edge of the back windows are those black dots, does the film go over these? That's why
I think I will pay the $225, the extra will be like paying for a warranty and a piece of mind.
I'll post pics once I get it done.
Thanks for the input.

For the back window I used 6 inch strips that were pre-cut that way for the back window. Yes it did go over the black dots.

I paid $175 and got a lifetime guarantee against scratches and all that good stuff. I didn't get it too dark. Certain angles it looks dark...Here is a link.
