what to expect to pay for tint....?
I want to tint my 85 GT convertible with just some decent average tint, nothing too spectacular. What can you guess i will have to pay at a decent place? There really is not a lot to tint, but the two side windows and two quarters, then the rear convertible window if thats possible (anyone know). Anyways anyone have a rough idea. What has everyone else paid?

between 150-200
call local tint shops just to get quotes that'd be your best bet. expect to pay a little more for better tinting materials cause it aint cheap. where ever you go though make sure you get at least a 3 year warrenty otherwise its probably crappy tint. everywhere i've gone before i started tinting myself was ~ 130ish

hey i just pulled the old stuff that was peelin off mine and the glue thats left behind can be kinda stubborn to get off..i used lacquer thinner and it came right off...and yes the back window of a vert can be tinted...my buddy did it on his 91 and turned out good.

Most shops are gonna charge anywhere from 75-175+. 75 would be that the tint peels off the windows in one piece...taking 3 minutes. If the tint is deteriorated(bubbled, turned purple),it could take twice as long that tinting the car. 79-08 stangs can be tinted in under an hour.
