You can usually get tint on three windows for ~$150. I wouldn't pay anymore than that. Also, make sure you get Llumar/Solargard/etc. that use a metallic tint and not a cheap dye that will fade (turn purple).

do both mini steve & bootlegguy live in calgary..that would be kind of an inconvenience to drive all the way out there . I have 4 side windows and rear window.. would i still be paying 150ish.. and to remove the tint i have on now..its only a day or 2 old.

still looking for shops that do tint in edmonton area.

thanks

IMO try it again... just takes alot of time and patience. i did my rear window in my 89 pathfinder, took a good 2 houres... but i could do it in ALOT less time now that ive done it once.

Pro Tint did both my vehicles. Charged me $225 for all 7 windows on my car and $65 for the 2 front windows on my Durango.


I was happy with them.

Yes, you need to know how to shrink film for curved glass. I wouldn't know which shop to recommend because I've always done my own.

i was thinking of doing a tint job this summer...i wanted to use that metallic gradient tint. i was gonna do all 5 windows, but i want a little customization on the job. i went to shadow tint in calgary, and they said the job would cost $350+ since they have to take off the existing tint. but i DO know they do high quality work and are well recognized (actually remove windows from car when possible.

does anyone know of someone in the calgary area who would do a tinting job for a little cheaper then this? since my recent misfortune i don't have all the money to spend that i though i would this summer so i gotta squeak when i spend money this season.
