Maybe not. I drove around with 5% all the way around for 2.5 years on my previous car and never was stopped. I don't think it had anything to do with the sheriff's sticker on the side of my car though

BTW, I got 15% all the way around as well!

I see someone paid $185 for 15% all the way around. Anyone else get quotes yet? I am going to get mine done ASAP but probably 35%... maybe 15-20%, not sure yet. I'd like to compare quotes.

Symbiont · 05-31-2012, 03:18 AM

I'm getting it done for around 125

Be careful with those bargain price tint shops being done out of someones front door. The price may seem too good to pass up but if you get a scratch or ding do you trust them to own up?

The price was $100 + tax for the "legal" job, + 15 extra for the darker side windows

The dealership quoted me at $255 for tinting, which seems a little high. I'm looking around at other options, but I don't know of any reputable sources in my area.

I doubt youll get a fix-it ticket in FL, unless theyve started coming down on dark tint. My brother lived there for years with 18% tint on a dark green car with black interior and never got a ticket.

Mine was $160 with a lifetime warranty.

That's because the dealer probably outsources tint to a local tint shop. That's what they do here.

Go to a tint shop in your area and I'd bet it will be around $100 less than the dealer.

I'm driving to Tacoma tomorrow to get my windows tinted at a shop where I used to work. I need the mileage to get through my break-in anyway, haha.

Dealership quoted me something close to $300 on the CX-5 we bought recently too, but the salesman told me to just go down the road to the shop that the dealer would have do it anyway, and the price would be at least $120 less.

Galpin dealerships rule.

How did they tint the rear window with the 3rd brake light? Im gonna get tint too, but Im worried about how they're going to get around the 3rd brake light that sits in the center of the rear seats.

I got quotes for 140-150

I think I paid 200 cash, supposed to a reputable shop and comes with lifetime warranty. No bubbles yet
