I paid $245 for 5% rear windows/front strip on the windshield and 35% driver and passanger window. I'd say you're in the ball park of tinting price.

the shop is a High end one, so I think they would be using the best tint possible. So, maybe I'll go through with it, I just thought I was paying for the shop basically. I'm not aware of the different qualities of tint and prices.

~ $300 for the better 3M stuff, all windows. This 3M is the one thats ok w/ NAV system antennas. Can save a bit of $$$ if you get the other 3M which is great also.

AVOID A1 DR. TINT on Carson if your in SoCal. The tint guy has been replaced and the current one is a hack. They used to do great work now its crap.

I don't remember the exact price but it was less than $200. I got the windows on the rear doors, the rear window, and the strip across the top of the windshield. The tint was 20% and deluxe grade or something like that. They had three differnt grades, the higher ones being more reflective. I got the middle one, and it was 3m with lifetime warranty.
