    I have never paid to have my windows tinted so I have no reference on the cost whatsoever.

    I talked to a local shop, $500 for the windshield, back and sides.

    Is it in the normal ball park?

    That’s cheap
    I think my g35 was 700 all around, and my civic was 600 something all around

    Yeah, I forgot about the sunroof.

    $350 from the same shop without the windshield, but the owner mentioned about the 60-70% the heat is coming through the windshield. Tinting the windshield makes the most impact on reducing the heat inside the cab.

    I'm not sure how accurate that statement was, but it does make sense.

    That’s cheap for ceramic. My two front windows were quoted 190-250

    I live in Florida so doing the front makes a big difference in keeping the interior cooler

    There are different levels of ceramic too.
    I’ve got an appointment in about a week for the windshield and 4 doors, $500. I have a shell on the back and I’m not getting the rear done. I got two different quotes from local people for the best ceramic they have. The other quote was $520.

    I paid $250 for premium 3m ceramic tint on the front side windows to match the rear tint 2 years ago.
    They want $350 to add ceramic film to the back doors and rear window.
    Illegal to apply film in Pennsylvania below the top strip of the windshield so I'm not bothering with that. Definitely looking at getting the back done.

    $250 for all around. Good ceramic tint. A friend did it at a shop. Guess I got a nice deal.

    Don't think I would want the $300 ceramic full tint jobs. There are big differences in the tint material quality and the good stuff is spendy.

    Been dealing with this guy for years. Uses Llumar tint never had a problem and if I ever did he would make it right.
