Ballpark Price for Re-tinting

My Camaros tint on the windows is coming off on the drives side, and i think it is due to something being lose in the door panel. How much would it be for a body shop/glass specialist to retint my door windows(nothing on hatch or windsheild)?

john5.7 87Iroc: Are those the 17x9 SS wheels? How do you like them, and don't they fill the wheel wells to their brim? I'm thinking about getting those instead of IROC's because the 18inch polished IROC's are hard as hell to come by. Have you lowered your car at all?

it depends on if you have the defrost stuff on the back window. I payed $225 for my tint to be stipped off and redone. Both side windows and the hatch. That was the cheapest I found it around here.

Yes theyre ss wheels. I love them. They do fill the front wheel well up a bit but with the 255's on the front they really arent much wider than stock. The only thing I dont like about them is haveing to use spacers to make them fit. I do plan on lowering it too.

save yourself some money and strip your own tint, then expect to pay any where from 30-60 a window depending on the job, color, content, etc.

my side windows have titanium in them and they lighten up when their isn't direct light on them, they were around 75 a window. so it all depends, you could always do it yourself for $15 a roll. side windows aren't that hard to do.
