    Jeez, yeah, go for it. I was quoted like $300 from a joint in Glenview, IL. I knew they were overpriced but now I am thinking they were on the moon.

    friends got me a gift for my birthday, a certificate for 3m window tinting. total cost ended up being $250 here in CO.

    just make sure the job comes with a workmanship warranty, etc.

    WOW those are all HIGH prices for tint.
    Consider the number and size of the windows on the VX anything over $150 is too much.

    I have gotten many cars tinted and normally very dark. And have never paid more than $130.

    I got talked into a higher-quality tint material, with a full lifetime guarantee for both installation issues and material defects. At a shop that has been in business forever, so I feel confident that they won't disappear tomorrow.

    $229.00 out the door.

    And remember, $140 anywhere else in the country is equal to $229 in Seattle, because we're stupidly expensive here.

    I sometimes forget I do live in the one the cheapest metros in the states.

    Still inflation from $150 to $300 is alot
