Window Tint

ModMustang97GT · January 29th, 2008, 04:36 PM

What should it cost to get my Windows Tinted? I got my 2 quarter windows done by a buddy, but he never got to finish. What should it cost to have a shop do it for me?

KingChronic · January 29th, 2008, 05:21 PM

$150-250 depends on area, and how good of a job you want.

HessiaN257 · January 29th, 2008, 05:49 PM

I got a estimate on my rear quarters and rear window- $165

06z28eaTer · January 29th, 2008, 06:44 PM

i got all of my windows done for 145 with a warranty. i just went with the legal 30%, i wish i could of kept my 5% that was on the car when I got it!

ModMustang97GT · January 29th, 2008, 06:57 PM

I want the 20% or possibly more of like a 15%. The stuff on my quarters reads at 14% but its rated at 20%

06z28eaTer · January 30th, 2008, 12:09 AM

yeah, so if you go with 20 then it would be good, i hate how on the back glass the top few inches cant be tinted. are you getting all of the windows done? or just the front 2 and back? i think you were saying the quarters were done already.

theres a way around that if u know wtf ur doing as a tinter......

I wouldn't ever pay more then 150-175 to have them pro. done. I would expect to pay about 1-125 for just the back window and door windows

Twisted4Dot6 · January 30th, 2008, 11:53 AM

$135.00 is what i paid for my tint 5% all the way around and the back glass is awful. But if it wont stick go to your local graphics store and purchase some black vinyl to put across the back blends in good. Ive had mine on 3 yrs and it hasnt faded peeled etc

06z28eaTer · January 30th, 2008, 12:21 PM

i bet that 5% is nice, i sure do miss mine lol

ModMustang97GT · January 30th, 2008, 07:14 PM

I had a friend with 2.5%. He said he curbed his rim one night cause he couldn't see the curn it was soo dark. Not sure I want that dark.

G.T. Rags · January 30th, 2008, 07:17 PM

alas, in my 03 GT i had 15%'s all around and backing out of my friends driveway in the pouring rain one night i wound up ripping off a small peace of ground effect catching the car on the curb from lack of visibility.

Simply could have been avoided by rolling my window down and getting a lil wet, but i was stupid and my car paid the price.

Twisted4Dot6 · February 1st, 2008, 09:38 PM

Yea I like my 5 %

chalosf · February 5th, 2008, 08:17 PM

I have limo tint on 3 back and 35% on the front, did them myself, pretty easy with precut kit from ebay

SWEET2KSTANG · February 5th, 2008, 08:40 PM

i do all my own tinting

when i was doing it at a shop, we were charging $140 for mustangs. i have always used llumar tint, the best on the market. the other companies that can come close to coler and warranty are places like solar guard, johnson, and just a few others.

RandoGT · February 6th, 2008, 02:33 AM

anyone want to provide a couple of pictures showing the difference between %s?

SWEET2KSTANG · February 6th, 2008, 02:34 AM

5%

RandoGT · February 6th, 2008, 11:21 AM

so the lower you go in percentage the darker?

zinc02GT · February 6th, 2008, 11:24 AM

yes. lower percent the darker it gets.

i have 20% all around. check out the siggy

RandoGT · February 6th, 2008, 12:13 PM

alright well what would be a good percentage to go to get a dark look but can still see even in night? cause my tint is all fucked up. looks purple and shizzz

SWEET2KSTANG · February 6th, 2008, 12:42 PM

15-20% every tint fades no matter who makes it or how its made. dyed films change colors, metalized films stay same color just gets lighter. it takes a long time to do that, usually tint last longer than owner will ever keep the car.

example ot 15-20%: factory tinted glass on things like the suv's are around a 17-19% tint.
