Window tint, How much did you pay

I'm looking to tint my windows. New Jersey has stupid laws regaurding how and where you tint, but i'm just trying to get an idea of how much you all paid for it. i realize that across the country prices are different, but i wanna go in there knowing about how much is standard.

Yea I paid $350 for mine (4 door) It's the 3m carbon I believe. It's a special blend because our FM/AM radio antenna's are built into the rear window and with just a regualr tint it can distort the reception quality.

Also lifetime warantee on fading and bubbles. Definitely on the high end of prices but absolutely the best tint job I've had. Not one bubble anywhere.

Honestly I think it truly is, It's either the carbon or ceramic not sure which one it is but I can check. I've had them on for a year now and they haven't faded, peeled, or bubbled yet. I know this also comes down to the installer as well but again best tint job I've ever had, and I've had 3 of my previous cars tinted.

$48/ a window. 4 Doors are usually more expensive. StreetzScenes where I go to get mine tinted and they have it lifetime so if it bubbled up you can take it back and get it redone. The small windows are usually half of $48 so it's $24.
$48 x 2 for 2 Door
$24 x 2 small ones
$48 x 1 back one
Total would come out to be $192.00 for tints. Hope this helps. Every state is different but this would be an estimate price for a window.
