Good price for tint?

Hey I want to tint my gen 2's window and was wondering what a good price was since so many of you have done it thought maybe some of you could help. for 5 windows (back and all the side windows) prices i've seen range from 180 to a little over 200 but I vaguely remember hearing better prices in the past but can't find it.

That sounds about right for a GOOD tint job for MY area....we have found that the price of this varries from area to area....have an estimate from a few different shops in your area...talk to anyone you can find in your area that has had their car done and decide which local tint shop you can trust to do a quality job. Bottom line is you want a good quality job...and if they aren't the cheepest in town...so be it. But at least you have a quality job done on YOUR car.

Also check to see if they offer lifetime warranties against cracking and bubbles and stuff. If they do, they're probably a good outfit.

$200 is pretty steep! I paid $120 for 9 windows with a guarantee fix if it bubbles. Ive had it for 8 months now, and it still looks damn good. No hook-up either.

I got mine done for $150 so I guess the 200 range would be a good average price...

all of you that seem to be paying the price i had expected are from out west i guess, so next time i'm out there, which will be soon, i'm gonna try and get it done. I don't understand paying the same amount for tint that i would pay to have a sun roof installed.
