It's very steep but I only wanted the best for this car!!!

400$ for the rear, side, and front windshield, I got a 70% film on the windshield with a 20% strip on top

It's awesome because I feel like even though I tinted the car, visibility got better!!!! It's also very easy to see through the tint compared to some cheaper films

I have 20% all around and a 20% brow on the front. Not as bad at night as I thought either. I don't remember what brand my tint guy used but it comes with the same warrentees you have too.

On a side note: am I the only person who immediately thinks Atari when I see the jl audio logo?

I am the ultimate JL audio fanboy, and I happened to love my atari growing up, maybe my subconscious somehow linked the two

I paid 300 and I love how it turned out. Its definitely durable stuff if you do a close comparison to cheap tint

yeah it would have been 300 but the front windshield is what put it over the top a little, they had to measure the strip with the 20% cut it out, then match a 70% under the strip

I guessed that was what happened lol did you have the door window tint filed to the edge or does it have the standard gap

Looks great!

I am debating doing my windshield. 70% is likely almost unnoticable as being tinted, but will provide UV protection for the interior and reduce heat build up on hot sunny days.

But, what worries me is night-time driving. Do you have any trouble seeing at night. I know it's only 70%, but still thats 30% LESS light getting through.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
