g2redgsr Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Going to get my car tinted tomarrow, hes asking 265 if the antenna is not in the windshield which i believe it is because i dont see one and 305 if it is in the windshield, i understand its technically 7 windows since i guess thats what they go by but damn 305, let me know what you guys think, thanks.

jmo Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I paid $220 for tint on all seven, and they didn't ask about any antenna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigb3630123 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 antenna in the window??? haha I think your getting yanked. Just because they are telling you that it costs 305 to tint a car. They are insane and if you dont get your tint job priced somewhere else I would say your insane also. Look for someone doing a special. I got mine for $110 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fzanetti Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Tint king in MA.... 200 for the wagon... A lot more glass than the sedan, no roof though - that would be an additional 40 bucks!!! And lifetime warranty!!! Flavio Zanetti Boston, MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMull123 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I got mine tinted for about 100 bucks, I don't really remember, it was a while ago, but nowhere near 305. The antenna shouldn't matter at all. My buddy now owns a shop that just does tint around here and they only charge around 105 for his job. You're gettin ripped man, don't let that guy touch your car.

g2redgsr Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 their called putnam window tint, they got a good reputation...i just couldnt see it being that much...he said because it was the antanna in the glass hed have to use special tint, which i think is true if they use metallic tint rather than the dye-metallic but i dont know much about it...

bsdzine Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'm pretty sure a heavier metallic tint will be much cheaper than other tint. More metallic tint will have an adverse affect with radar detectors - i have 17% carbon-based black tint, and I paid 400 for it with lifetime warranty ( got both fronts replaced for free during the winter time as well when a snowboard gave the tint a small 'slice'). the carbon tint is pretty badass, no screwing up your radar, UV light blocked while other light is let in... I love it. the average around here is about 225-250 for regular metallic-based tints. you get what you pay for - someone asking 100 bucks for all-around i'd be a little sketchy if they weren't a friend. Sure 100 bucks for tint, but we'll see what it looks like in a year when it bubbles and fades to purple brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigb3630123 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 $110 lifetime warranty. The guy has been doing it for years and no bubbles yet after 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
