You should pay any where in between 150-250$ for all 5 windows. Pick a shop that uses quality film, ask how long they have been tinting, if they offer a warranty, if they have done mustang's before and ask them about the felt/moleskin and adding it on since they dont have it until 08 i believe. Some of the prices i saw posted on here i wouldn't even want to imagine the quality of work. but to each his own and you normally get what you pay for unless someone's ripping you off. Cheap films only have 3 year warranty's and more expensive films have lifetime. If you want something that doesn't affect gps than you will need a carbon type film which is non metalized.

First, if you do not want to be concerned about being pulled over about our tint, you should check your local tint laws.

I paid $150 for the entire car. I have 30% on the front and 20% on the rear and very happy with the result. Like others have said, you should check the quality of the tint to be used and the warranty provided. Also, I have never heard of anyone charging different amounts for different percentages.

I payed $210.....lifetime warranty. I got 30% on the rears and 35% sides. IDK if I read your post right but it sounded like you said you werent going to get your 1/4 windows tinted? I would definetley get them tinted in case you wanted to take the louvers off. The price does not vary by %. IMO go darker.....I wish I would have.

I forgot to mention.

Their is no such thing as "perfect" film install. Use words like good, really good, great, but they will never be perfect.

$200 in Gainesville for dark as legal. Llumar tint with Lifetime warranty. If you pay cash, you can get anything you want with no warranty.

I would say just go dark as legal, because if a cop stops you he/she might slash your tint and you'll be out $200.

A couple more things I forgot to mention earlier...if you want to go darker than your states regulations (illegal) you will need to pay with cash only. Also, make sure they tint the front windows all the way to the top edge and tint the back window in one piece.
