Tinted windows

Anybody get there windows tinted?

Whats a fair price someone would charge for this?

I got quoted 200$ for the wife's camry...That reasonable???

Thinking about getting the taco done as well...

And ideas?

 

depends on the amount of windows you get tinted. My two fronts were $80. I think $200 is about right for 4 side windows and the rear.

 

I think I payed about $75 for the Tacoma and about $150 for my wifes Corolla

 

That price was for the 4 side windows...Not the rear on the camry...

I didnt check on the truck yet...but i have a DC so it would still be 4 windows...But i have another question...The back windows in my truck are already a little tinted from the factory...How does that work with aftermarket stuff?

 

On my truck it was only the front two windows tinted to match as the rear passenger and rear slider are already tinted. THe price for my wifes Corolla was for all 4 doors and the rear window as well.

 

it will work fine on top of the factory tint for the rear window because the factory tint is the glass itself not a laminate.

 

Unless tinting the rears over the factory tint will push you past your state's tint limits.

 

The price on the camry is a little high i would think without the rear window being tinted also. Usually i charge $30 a window and $50-$60 a back glass. That's the standard price in my area.
As far as tinting the back windows on the taco it won't hurt anything because like darknight stated the tint from factory is mixed in with the glass. I tinted 20% over the top of my factory tint and 20% on the front two windows too and it matches well.

 

that's a good point. some states have strict laws on any passenger window but some states the back glass on a truck can be blacked out. if you just tint 20% on your front two windows it will pass the tint test at least in TN. most of the time if an officer can see how many occupants are in the front of the vehicle they won't mess with you for tint laws and 20% or less will allow that

 

I paid 110.00 for an a/c to be tinted.

 

Just the driver and passenger fronts or the rear 3 as well?

 

Also talk to the shop that gave you the quote and see if they will cut you a deal for having 2 vehicles done at the same time?

 

I just got quoted $150 for all the windows (except windshield) for my double cab

 

here in kc.. i charge 160 for any 4 door car. 20 or 35%

the driver and passengers on trucks i do for 60. Toyota owners get a better price of course

 

Same here. I just got quoted for $155 out the door. 5% on the rear windows. And 30% for up front. For the windshield tint $20 extra.

 

Tacoma i payed $75 for the front two, and the fiances Mazda 3 was $185 four doors, and back, with $10 off for being a repeat customer.

 

I paid 35 dollars a window all done free hand came out perfect im in connecticut

 

So it seems like anywhere from ~150$-200$ is pretty reasonable...

There are 2 shops here in town that do it and both are rock solid on 200$ for the Camry...
Stupid question but is it hard to do yourself or should i just leave it to the pros???

 

I have seen both good and bad doing it yourself, take you time if you do it yourself, just don't rush through.

 

I would leave it to the pros myself. My Tacoma was $70 for just the front two. I had a Toyota Solara before i got my truck and it was $180. That was for 35% . If you go darker it is usually more $$$
