tint:

Raja Ventureshield · 03-30-2011, 09:24 AM

i know this has been discussed million times and one.

but how much is fair price to tint the following car:

-2011 x5
-2011 honda accord

i am getting price quote of about 250$ each. It's been while since i had my last car tinted and wanted to see if i am in line.

thanks!

bimdaddy · 03-30-2011, 09:45 AM

Damn.....rip off! I've had tint with lifetime warranty run between 160-200 on 4dr. Not talking about the cheap stuff that turns purple after 4 years.

lucas.kent · 03-30-2011, 09:59 AM

I'd say that's relatively in line - but maybe a tad on the high side. I have Madico tint and it was $220 for my e90.

I dont understand why you people pay so much for tint.. this is my 3rd car.. and I always get llumar tint with a lifetime warranty for $150.. any shade.

Express · 03-30-2011, 10:34 AM

i pay no more than 150 for all of my cars no matter how big/small

Its all about location location location...I know for a fact that VA is normally higher than most tint shops in MD.

utfenix335i · 03-30-2011, 03:29 PM

I paid $250 for ceramic tint llumar. That's the best price for one of the best tints out there.

Raja Ventureshield · 03-31-2011, 09:52 AM

texas, florida and california prices are much more inexpensive.

I don't want to pay 150-170$ for inexpensive tint. Which I have seen change colors.
but i want to make sure i am getting good tint and they are good for at least 7 years etc.

thanks!

Spydeputy · 03-31-2011, 01:51 PM

I thought you did tinting?
I paid $160 for Llumar 35% all around,3 years and still perfect.

TXe92 · 03-31-2011, 01:58 PM

my only regret is not doing 15% again.. 20% just isnt quite dark enough for me

utfenix335i · 03-31-2011, 02:01 PM

In md you can't get away with that dark. 35% is the lowest we can go. Llumar is amazingly good tint. I it ceramic because of idrive. If you dont have that, don't spent more than 150 for all around plus sunroof.

I have 5% on 3 vehicles, 5% on previous vehicles and I have never had to remove or gotten a ticket for it. You can do 5%, just dont give the cop a reason to be a dick about the tint

National Glass Tinting!

phlfly · 04-02-2011, 09:02 AM

Hello,
I'm most time in M3 forum, but here info I have used:

NO LIMITS MOBILE WINDOW TINTING 571 251 5735.(Lifetime warranty)

I have used this company already twice. The guy will drive your location and do that. He has done a good job so far for both my vehicles.
I don't work for this company and don't share any profit with this company. It's not a promotion, but just personal recommendation for fellow BMW M3 owners.

I paid last time 100 for two front windows with removing old tint. Tell him that you are from guy owns jetblack BMW with very dark tint.

dubze90 · 04-03-2011, 02:33 AM

LA Tint. that's about much i paid

Spydeputy · 04-03-2011, 05:40 AM

That stuff that used to turn purple has not been around for awhile now.
But keep at around 35% as a finished product.
Remember car glass already has some factory tint in it.
So if you put on 35% you will get about 25-27% finished %.
The lower the number, the darker the tint.

I can speak to this as I had to remove my tint to pass the MD safety inspection.

Tried two times to get it certified and had readings of 30 and 27.5 with 35% 3M CS tint.

Yeah so true. When I was in MD I had this same problem. Such a bummer.

Not sure if this helps but I had a 2002 accord coupe and got it tinted for $140; good labor and quality quantum tint too back in a well-known California tint shop ...
