What'd it cost to get your windows tinted?

I just got my BRZ and I want to get my windows done. What'd you guys pay for yours?

I paid $200 for a crappy tint job. High quality tint but too many dust spots IMO.

Find a few different places and go to the one u believe will do the best job.

*edited* i should have been more specific.

Less than $200 for a high quality ceramic tint that really looks good and keeps that heat out. And a good install too.

Call around and check and get references and look at some of their work. Good luck!

$200 is reasonable for a quality tint IMO

It should cost about 200 bucks for the 5 windows...If you're anywhere near Danbury, CT - I would recommend hitting up Miceli tint. He has a diecut tint machine...no longer will you have choppy razor blade marks on the top of the window:

$180 for highest quality tint that can be provided. They screwed up and gave me the best tint. Therefore they charged me for the mid grade tint I was asking for. I also found a $20 off coupon on my iphone right before I paid. I got lucky. Did a great job all around. 20% tint is perfect for this car.

I am also looking to get my car tinted. The local place I usually get it done is going to charge $175 for a good quality tint. My only question is how dark should I go? Around here about any place will go darker than legal and the cops don't seem to care. They will go 35%, 22%, OR 13% for the darker tints. Any one got pics of a DGM BRZ with darker tints that I can compare?

I'm trading a local shop for some Decal Work. I cut decals for them and he's tinted my taillights and going to do my windows. Once I find the time to take it to him. I could do it myself, but just don't have the time right now.

If your car is registered in SD and you live in tristate, you shouldn't have to worry at all.
