I am hearing a lot of people saying it is around $100-$150 depending on darkness and who does it.
Anybody have any bad experiences other than the guy not using felt? How long to tint and would you go darker or lighter if you had to do it over again?
I don't feel great about leaving my car at some guys shop with the kiddies eyeballing it and thinking they need to get it out on the highway to "test the tint" after they install it so I'd rather it be a "while you wait" sorta thing.
I paid $150 for mine - had it 4 months and no scratches. A really nice job. He had the car a couple of hours though. I got one step down from the limo tint and so far have cruised past plenty of cops without a problem. It is worth it as I have noticed a considerably decrease in the interior temp.

I paid $200 for mine but it was worth every penny. A company called LA Tint did mine (not sure if they're a national chain or not) but used them for two main reasons. Number one, they're computerized. They bring your cars make and model up on their computer and the film gets cut electronically to perfection. Second their film is UV rated, which if you have a nice interior like mine is important. I didn't want my nice red leather turning pink on me. Plus LA Tint gives their film a lifetime guarantee. Also, I made an appointment and waited about an hour or so while they did it.
Basically, call around to see which tint companies offer these. It might cost you a few extra bucks but you'll be real happy in the long run.

No extra care. They just tell you not to roll the windows down for about two days to let the film adhere correctly. They truly did a great job, no bubbles or peeling or anything. Like I said, it might cost you a bit more but it's worth it when you see the end result.
And my car is black too and with the tint it looks awesome.

My tint cost me $145 for all 5 windows (20% on front two, 5% limo tint on rear quaters and rear window). It took the guy a couple of hours. He has done several of my cars over the years. Offers a lifetime warranty. I would go darker if I coould, but I have already been pulled over three times for other cars with same tint. Fortunately, I have a vert and 90% of the time my windows (and top) are down. I agree all cars look better with titned windows, but the black cars look downright mean with them. For pics, check my photo gallery, for I do not have a pic with me to post.

Do you find visibility a problem at all with the rear window being so dark?
I'm thinking like 60% all the way around.
Hey fellas; post pics and describe what % the tint is so "us guys" that want tint can make a decision each of us would be happy with.

Basically (in Virginia anyway) you can go as dark as you want on the rear glass as long as you have sideview mirrors. My back glass is real dark but I have no visibilty probems. It even helps cut down the glare when those F150's pull up behind you with their headlights blazin'.

The short answer is No, I do not find any visibilty issues with the window tint. As I mentioned, I tint the windows of all my cars. Now when I had my Eclipse, the front windows were 15%, and the rear windows were 5% limo tint...too dark. I am now so used to the window tints that I do not even notice them. In fact on the Mustang, I have bigger visibility issues with my ducktail than I do with the window tint. Plus on my Mustang, the top is usually down when I drive it. I have a few pics of my car witht he top up and the windows up, you can still easily see out through the windows, even at night. But in my opinion, they look good.
I paid $175 for five windows. With the 5% in the back and sides, it is hard to back out of parking spaces at night, so I need to roll down the windows so I don't hit a pedestrian.

I paid $135 for 5 windows. I don't remember the %. Definitely get the felt. Mine eventually scratched. Not immediately, but after you get some dust or dirt between the window and the plastic piece it will.
I got mine a a place called WaxWerx in Indy. Lifetime guarentee, but they try not to honor it. I thought I was going to get in a fight after taking it back in the get the rear window redone after finding bubbles and dirt between the tint and window. I will get the sides redone at probably Ziebart, they were about $20 more.
