hey guys, i'm thinking of having my 91 firebird's back windshield tinted 5%, and the place i went to, is going to charge $100-is that about right???
thanks,

yep give or take a few depending on the style, brand, and shop!

just be careful, it doesn't seem that much darker than 20 and it's impossible to see when backing up at night.

 

I ahd mine done a couple of weeks ago. Did 17% on the back window and 35% on the sides. Cost $125 for the back and $50 for the sides. The guy did the rear window in 1 piece. looks great. I had him lay 5% on the back and I couldn't see the lights in the shop. There's no way you could see out at night with that tint. Money well spent for that look.

don't let him scare you, you can see out the back just not very well

i usually only drive the car during the day and it's no problem, if it's an everyday driver for you i would consider the 20%.

 

What is the correct way to tint a rear window that has a defroster? Does it have to be done in strips?

 

I used to work at a tint shop, so I got a killer deal, and the guy there did it in one piece. He's been tinting for like 16 years. He is definately the best tinter that I have ever seen. He usually charges $80. Usually it should be cheaper to do it in more than one peice, just make sure the guy knows how to shrink the film, and if he brakes anything, make him replace it. Other than that, yes it is harder to see out the rear window at night, but you have side mirrors, and reverse lights, right?
