I paid 150 including the brow but mine is 35%. But the place I went to didn't charge more cuz the % of the tint. They just dont want to be liable if I you get pulled over by the cops. But 299 is way too much for a 2 door coupe imho. But if you're happy with it thats good.

Yep, at 299 versus 80...there is no comparison!

I got 15% too, and paid $300 for it.

I get tickets for it about 4 times a year, but I don't care.. I just plead guilty and pay for the ticket and move on. It's not points on your license for tint in NY.

Yea I have lifetime warrenty too thank god!! The passenger side tint was peeling off due to the window going down a little every time someone opens the door, but he said he will fix it on Monday.
This time I'm leaving the ground for the door window unwired. Would that effect anything? I mean there has to be a purpose why the window slightly goes down every time you open the door.

You know the rubber interior window trim, what the window actually rubs against when it closes on the inside. Well, all you have to do is push it down, and into the window; when your window goes down now, there is no friction of the rubber to glass, so it won't wear. You don't have to disconnect the window sealing function, just have your tint guy push the trim down inside the window, when the tint is "dry" then all you have to do it pull the trim back up.

Something I have noticed is that Washington retailers rape on window tinting prices. I got mine done for $200 a couple years ago.
