There was defroster (rear glass) by dealer.
I take it off.
So I have to tint only this rear glass.
Side glasses have original tinted.

Re: lets see those window tinted cars!!

Expect between 50-100 for the sides and probably 125-300 for the back glass. depends on the tint/tinter.

Mine got done for free because i work at the shop. 15% Llumar Lifetime Warranty stuff. Has UV protection built into the film supposedly.


we tint windshields with 35%, if that gives anyone an idea of how light it is. Most factory tint on the back of suvs and cars are close to 20%.

The color of your interior plays a huge role too. 15% looks like 35% on a car with tan interior, but looks like limo on a car with black.

I went with 15% because i still wanted to be able to see out of the car at night, but still have it dark enough where people cant see straight into my shiz.

Only pic i have right now is an in progress paint pic.

Re: lets see those window tinted cars!!

I just got my windows done with Suntek carbon tint for $225 with a lifetime warranty. 18% all around and it is awesome! It is just the right darkness in the daytime, and not hard to see out of at night. Also it keeps my car alot cooler sitting in the sun during the day. My opinion is that every thirdgen needs tint!
