    Pick the right product like Llumar, use a longtime established installer, secure a lifetime warranty. It wont be cheap, but it will be worth it.

    2 fronts cost me 70.00 went 20% which is 10% to much but it matches my rear windows. I also have same tint on another vehicle for 15 years and never had an issue.

    I had the driver and passenger windows tinted NV legal 35%, and it looks real good next to the access door windows tint, and it cost me $70 with a lifetime warranty.

    If you only plan to get the front windows to match, a good llumar tint shouldn't set you back more than $80 to 100.

    Legal limit in PA is 70 percent light transmission. So pretty much anything darker than your factory front windows and windshield below the AS1 line is illegal

    Got the two fronts and windshield done for $250 in ceramic from a reputable shop. But I negotiated pretty hard and my buddy got the same thing done which gave us some leverage. Should've been about $400

    It can go much higher than $300.

    I'm having mine done on Sunday... I think it's about $500. But that's high quality ceramic tint from a highly reputable installer, all sides and rear.

    Hmm I'll have to look into this ceramic tint.. I want to do my fronts before summer.

    Not sure what my go to local installer uses here but he gives lifetime guarantee against bubbles and purlple-ing. Very reputable, $80 for the fronts and $160-$180 for all 5 windows.

    I had my front two windows done with FormulaOne Pinnacle Series. Probably the best tint on the market right now IMO. Did them at 30% (don't make a 25% - lowest you can legally go for front windows in TX). Matches the rear factory privacy glass pretty well. Only one shop in Houston even carries the stuff... Think it was around $130 for the front two windows.

    I get them done for $25 a window and $50 for the rear with Formula One. You may try to negotiate with your local installers and see if you can get a little savings. I've found they've got some "wiggle" room.

    Dunno about PA, but 'legal' limits in the two states I've lived are 50% front, which in my opinion is not even worth tinting. The difference is negligible. (Edit, if the above post about PA's law at 70% is correct, and you want to stay in compliance, then you actually can't tint... the front windows are already like 78% stock...)

    That said, cost varies a lot geographically, and as you can see from above posts varies based on film quality.
