Guy local to me quoted me at $300 for good tint. You gotta pay for quality stuff. Before I thought a normal job was $100, now I'd be worried about poor tint materials or tint peeling if it was under $200.

I think it really depends all on the area. Also shops that tend to carry the high quality materials will cost more but at the same time doesn't mean that a cheaper shop won't produce the same material and work.

First time I got tinted was $130 + tax for my si and it came with lifetime warranty
2nd time I found another place that did it for $120 + tax with nationwide lifetime warranty.

Both jobs came out great

I paid $300 for mine (4 Door). 3M tint w/ lifetime warranty. Used to never spend more than $150 but when I tell you there is not one bubble ANYWHERE I mean it.

Couldn't be happier with the quality of the job.

thats what I was going to say. I don't think the op got the whole windshield done in 5%, but I could be wrong.

oh BTW, some states let you tint your windshield. He probably meant the whole windshield.
