i payed about $20 per window

i have 15% on front and rear. i have seen the guy do it different 3 times, twice to my truck and once to my brothers. it is easy to do. the hardest part is cutting it to the right size with a razor blade

kenny, who deals with 3m in gautier or pascagoula? i had that tint put on my moms honda a few years ago and it is nasty now. What do i have to do just drive in and let them look at the 3m sticker on it and they will replace it.

I guess that's not too bad, I was thinking it would be around $300-$400. Dose anyone have before and after pics with a 5% tint? The good thing about my truck is it's alredy tinted pretty well, but I want to make it darker. How do I know what pecent tint it already is? For all I know my tint is the limit right now. Thanks for all the replys.

i did both of my trucks for $60 each/truck. all the way around with limo tint except the two front doors was 35%. both of my trucks already had back factory tint, but in my case when backing up I can see real clear?? it is not dark at all... I think there is different brands of tint because I know I have had some on my past trucks were it is hard to see at night... by the way the guy thats did this for me works at a shop were that is all he does all day and he does side jobs when he's off and that is why it is a little cheaper...

I paid $30 for my two front windows because mine came with the privacy glass, i got 36% but it looks way darker, i think im going to get stopped especially in my neighborhood. I had 19% and i got stopped and the cop told me that he would give me a week to take it off and the 36% that i got right now looks almost as dark as the 19%, so hopefully that same cop is not around here no more

I did my two side windows, back glass and eyebrow on windshield for around $70 with a lifetime warranty. 5% all the way around.Going this dark is illegal in Louisiana, but I have a paper from the doctor to get around it so my 5% is legal for me.
