Question Is $160 expensive for tint?

I found a local guy who said he would tint all my windows 5% for $160.
(I need to remove my current tint tho). I asked him what kind of tint he uses and he told me Llumar.
Is this a good deal, average price, or too much?

seems pretty fair to me. Even though Ive never had to pay for a tint job. I did ask my buddy who tints windows & he said he normally charges for all windows on camaro or trans am around $200. The back window is a bitch, & he does it with one piece not two.

Guy around here charges $100 all around. Same price reguardless of how dark or light the tint is. $100ish seems to be the norm from what i've seen.

Llumar is good tint. A late model F-body is a real pain to do because of the curved rear hatch glass and the matrix dots at the top of the rear glass.

That's the whole point of Llumar , it doesn't turn purple nearly as quick as cheaper brands. Tint is like anything else , most of the time , you get what you pay for.

Hey Josh,

Yes to the Tint Im free this weekend check your PMs... AND

I saw this https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...1&page=1&pp=20

Can you still get tires? Cause 2 things are going to happen.
1) I I sell my brand new Kumho 16's and wheels for $400 and buy new tires..
or
2) I get paid on Thursday buy 2 new tires.

Either way I need some new tires 275/40/17s. (I just got some Zr1's (17x9) like a week after I bought Kumos 16's LOL.)

Hey guys, sorry it took so long to reply.

I sent my heat gun out for repairs (dropped it) and when it returns i'll hook all of you up. 100 bucks per car, ANY car.
