    Anybody have a rough idea of cost for this? Just the side windows and back window, no need for the cab window. Interested in the extra security. Already looked and it’s legal in my state to go as dark as I want on a truck or SUV’s rear side and rear windows, so I’d likely go limo.

    Side note I’ve never tinted any vehicle before so any tips for reputable brands that hold up over time would be appreciated.

    Think about all of the bubbled up, peeling, crappy looking tint you see on cars then find an installer who uses 3M, Llumar or one of the other quality tints, swing by and ask them. The quality products, installed by trained and certified installers and carrying a warranty, are worth the extra money in my opinion. The flat windows in a shell should be easy enough to do so I wouldn't think they'd cost as much labor as car windows.

    Alternately, you can buy the tint off ebay if you want to try it.

    There are probably some other brands out there that folks here can recommend, those are just two I'm aware of. It just seems the cheaper ones all peel, bubble and look bad
