Default Tinting $'s?

Just wondering what some of you guys have paid to get your back and side windows tinted? I'm good at straight windows. but have a hard time with curved. Trying to get a good idea.

Thanks for the feedback so far. That seems cheap to me, I paid like 130 for my S-10 just for the back and front strip. I was lazy that time.

Hmm damn, I guess I overpaid. Here in Calif I paid 200 for my tint; Rear and side windows. My Tint was done by Mr. Tints. But at least I get a lifetime warrenty. Or does all tint shops offer that?
