I paid about $100 for driver, passenger, and hatch windows. Pretty decent job I got too. This was in Idaho.

What city in NE Ohio? And also call around for prices. I went to Summit Sound and had it done for $220ish, forget exact amount. The hatch was most expensive part, but you may be able to find it elsewhere cheaper.

between $100 and $150 would be the ball park price range your looking at. The rear hatch is what is going to cost the most. Some shops will want to lay two sheets of tint to your hatch but ask them to use only one.

Yes. I hear that removal is a pain though.

i've gotten the sides/hatch done on both cars, the first time it cost $180, the second time it was $160.

the second time was cheaper because they had began using larger sheets so that they could do the hatch in one piece, which was cheaper then using two, where they had to waste quite a bit since it didn't need two full sheets, just one and a little extra.

I paid $240 for the SS back in May. I also used a new film called Huper Optik. It is supposed to be some new great film with out dye in it so it wont fade and turn different colors. According to the guy who tinted my windows said only select shops are able to have it right now. See if you shop has it.
