Default Window Tint

Im looking at getting my windows tinted probably next week... Ive called wicked stickers and they quotes me the same price (180) it cost me to do my tiburon which had 2 quarter windows and a huge back window... this seems ridiculous to me considering how much glass there isnt on the s2k. Cool shades quoted me $150 but that still seems high.. Any input on this?

I ordered my tint online. It comes pre-cut for all the windows. $35 shipped. I've tinted all my vehicles with it. It looks great.

They could be covering themselves on labor. That back window is a real bear to get to.

I could meet up with you one weekend and help you put it on if you were to buy it online. I used to have a tinting business but quit doing it because I worked too may hours at my job. I work at a coal mine

Here's my vehicles I've tinted, just to give you an idea how much of a perfectionist I am also.

I paid $100 at Zeibart Tidy Car on Manchester Rd. in West County... I was quoted $120 but they have a coupon on their website for $25 off. I also called around and got alot of ridiculous quotes for tinting these exceptionally small windows...
