Window Tinting Opions Plz
So I'm going to tint my truck, and there are two places that are options. The $150 is a car audio shop run by young guys. The other is $200 and seems to be more respectable, and they said theres a lifetime warranty. I'm also wondering what percentage to get. I dont want to be to illegal, but I was thinking 30% for the driver/passanger windows and for the back driver/passanger and rear window 15%. I wanna get that blacked out look, where you can barely see inside. Opinions Please!

I just got my front doors done. Called around and found some different prices, the tinters in my area are hurting for work, all going out of their way to get me in at a good price. the last guy I called gave me a sweet deal and even came to my house to do the job. Just ask them how many years experience they have if you're worried about the work. The guy that did mine had 13 years.

The 30% sounds good for the front and 15% sounds good for the back. Just make sure you don't get the front too dark cuz one, you don't want it to be illegal and two, you want the people who are checking out your truck to see who is driving the sweet ride!
I dunno what the legal limits are for the front and back windows. I don't think the back ones matter tho.
As for what place to go, I'd go with the place that is more respected and has the lifetime warranty. It may be $50 more but it's worth it IMO.

I would check around and make sure you are getting the best deal for the $. I payed $50.00 a window when I got mine tinted. Good luck.

I have tinted a few dakotas... I charge around 125 without a tint strip. with a strip it'd be 150. I use Global QDC or Express.
200 is way too much. period. Even for lllumar. Young guys can tint with the best of the older fella's. Trust me. I am not what any of you guys would call old, and I have never had a job come back.
Tinting it yourself is the cheapest option, and if you have a little patience, I think you could pull off the fronts no problem... I have a write up in the FAQ section.
