window tinting cost

**johnnm** · 03-13-2006, 01:55 AM

Does anyone know the range of costs to get car windows professionally tinted? I know there are things you can buy to do it yourself, but I've seen way too many horrid jobs and would rather pay somebody who knows how to do it right and for it to be done well. I also know it depends on the type of tint you get. Anybody know the range from cheapest to most expensive? I've tried google but all I get is "DIY kits" and "get your no obligation tint quote now!" scam offers. Thanks!

I have an '02 Acura RSX-S (hatchback), and to get the front windows, rear windows and hatch tinted (20%) it cost $130.

yeah for the whole car anywhere between 100 to 200 depending on how many windows and who you go to

Get metalic tint if you want to be shielded from radio inside the car. Metalic based tint is cheaper. I'd opt for the ceramic type.

I used to own a 96 Intrepid. Limo'd out thr rear doors and backlight, and 20% on the front doors. Cost was 120.00 otd.

Normally they charge about 20-30 bucks per window. Expect to pay more for better film quality.
I paid 120 for all 7 windows in the matrix with Johnson film.
