35% all the way around.

 

whats an average cost of having your windows tinted? is it more if you want them darker??

 

Yes it cost more if you want it darker. I got mine for $150, thats with 35% on the sides and 20% on the rear.

 

damn. that seems like a lot. how much have some of you other guys paid?

 

I never go buy price, I go by quality of work. I won't use a shop if I haven't seen their work on some ones car.

The difference between $150 and $250 don't mean nothing if they f up the job. I only plan to pay for tint once so I go with reputation of work.

I would call local dealers that you like and find out who if anyone they use or send their clients too, then look at the level of work and their shop.

 

The guys that did my tint have a good rep and they also did my friends car. The original price was $170 but I had a alarm system installed by them so they gave me a $20 discount on the tints.

 

anybody know a good, reputable place in the bay area? anybody know what prices are good up here? i just moved to sunnyvale, so i dont know whats around or how much things cost here.

 

Tint scratches are because there is no felt on the inside of accord windows. Roll your windows down and feel the rubber gasket on both sides. Most tint shops offer felting.

 

Tint all the way around in Oregon, no hassles so far. For a 13-yr old tint job, no scratches (clean with vinegar-based window cleaner, no newspapers or ammonia) but a small peal in the front driver's window on the front edge where you roll up and down the window, but cut it diagonally with a razor blade and looks intentional. With a black pearl car ya' gotta tink or cook. Good thing AC blows cold.
