not a good price. I got all my windows (except the windshield) for a little under $200, but I'm in SoCal, where everyone has tint. Make sure you get a lifetime warranty so if it bubbles at all you can take it back to get it redone.

In Texas, $125-150 is the going rate for tint all the way around in a coupe or sedan.

Around here, in PA, It's $200 for 5 windows (4 sides, rear). Its a flat window rate, # of windows relates to price. Keep looking for a better deal.

It also depends how they do the back window. I had my old Saleen done and they did a special treatment to it to make it smooth. Those little dots around the outside and the top of the window cause most tint jobs to look like sh*t. I've only seen a few cars that had the windows done in a way that made the whole window solid without the whiteness around those stupid dots. A good shop will probably charge a little more to do it right. I paid 250 (in socal) to have it done that way. Anybody else know what I'm talking about?

Yeah they shave the dot matrix off. Most shops dont want to do that because it takes too much time but i do agree that it comes out the best that way. Instead of doing mine like that they painted the dot matrix stip black so its dark and you cant see anything, looks good, thats another alternative cost me an extra 20 bucks tho.... Im not sure how they did it but where the dots are its totally blacked out, looks clean and a lot better than other tints ive seen on mustangs..

Your car looks great. Love the wheels. Those are torq II's right? I had a 1970 Monte that I was going to put 17" on. Decided to sell it so I never did. Those wheels look good on everything I swear. There is a white GT near me with a set, great looking setup. [sm=drooldude.gif]
