[s-cars] Re: Pricing on installed window tint

[Keith Maddock]

Very important also to double check the warranty... including

A) Installer's warranty against peeling, bubbling
B) Film manufacturer's warranty against discoloration
C) Installer is willing to honor B or not...

See how long the guy has been in business too.

IMHO I'd rather pay $220 for a full warranty and the best film, than 160 for good film with a limited warranty..

B4 and After pics of my car with "50%" on the front windows and "35%" on the rear windows and back window.
If I had to do it again I'd probably go one grade lighter on each to improve night vision, but I haven't lost any sleep about it.
The installer wanted me to do 20% in the back, "Just like on my Eldo out there", but I politely declined, not REALLY wanting to give my car the full DE-Troit treatment.....

YMMV

Figure a six to eight window Audi (i.e. - 2 or four door) should run
about $160 - $180 with very good quality film, about $100 with cheap
quality film. Make sure you see examples of their work before using
anyone, and insist on a 100% UV filtration. Also check into applicable
local/state laws concerning tint levels and take a few small pieces to
look through at night before deciding that this or that level of tint
is appropriate (you will hate yourself if you get something too dark).
