$60.00 to remove both side windows tint and replace with new 5%.

Though, I think most of the expense comes from the rear portion. $200 range is about the going rate...and quite fair I'd say.

$100 here for all three 4% with out removal. Make sure they tint the dot matrix. Let dry for a week and the water will beed up in the matrix causing it not to stick. Then cut all the tint over the matrix off and get vinyl over it. Otherwise bubbly tint and no tint over the dot matrix looks like ***. Also get the half metal flake tint for more life and a darker color. The full metal flake tint even limo will have a silver hue to it and not be as dark. The all dye tint will turn purple.
