Default Need advice for 350z tint overlays

So I was quoted 90$the Taillights headlights and side marker overlays the only problem is that I want to get them perfectly done so he refered me to his local installer and the guy said 100$ to install everything. Does that sound right ? I feel like for just blacking out my lights thats a lot of money but do the numbers sound right?

Thanks for your time i appreciate your responses!

100 seems a little high but if he runs a business doing this sort of thing for a living (or even on the side) his time is money.

Honestly you can do it yourself, it is really easy.

Don't use Nite Shades. I used it and it fades, quick and turns purple.

Get the overlays, use soapy water, put the overlays on.......its easy.

Nite Shades is cheaper, maybe easier, but you get what you pay for.

you must have not used clear coat...or didn't apply enough coats... niteshades + (properly applied) clear coat = no fades or purpling <--- LOL is that a word?!
