It is a good price. I paid 360 for mine in NorCal and that's already a good price. I was quoted $320 for Formula 1 Pinnacle Ceramic which @SanthonyL has. My whole car was tinted in an hour so that was even more worthwhile. They have 3 tinters per car.
ya I was surprised by the price. couldn't say no
what kind did you get
Really depends on the market, the shop if they have to hire someone of they do it themselves, how many they do etc. They have to recoup the cost for their plotter software and maintenance updates. It's pricey.
Right. Most of these places are ones that got awesome reviews on Yelp. They're mostly tint shops but one does wraps as well. You would think being in PHX where everybody has tint they'd charge less since they probably get quite a bit of business. Anyway my dealer said the tint they installed comes with a lifetime warranty so they will redo since I have bubbles in it. I asked them to just remove it so I could go somewhere else and get it redone and not pay for removal. I also asked them what kind of tint they use but they never got back to me on that so it's most likely some cheap quality one.
Looks nice. Isn't 20% too dark for Cali? As long as you are satisfied it's all that counts.Sorry for the really bright direct sunlight picture (the picture in my garage gallery has a shot without direct sunlight if you're curious how it looks). We're in a middle of a heat wave here in San Diego. Had to rush this pic as there was a cop nearby. I did 5% on the rear window and rear passenger windows. 20% on the front windows. The black interior makes it look even darker. I was not sure what brand tint the guy used but he did a great job. He is used by a ton of locals basically all referred by word of mouth. Came with a lifetime warranty if any bubbling or scratches appear, or turns purple he will replace it for free. He will also remove the fronts for free as well if you get pulled over and get a fix it ticket from the cops. He charged me $159 for all 5 windows. I referred my buddy for his Accord and he charged him a discount of $149 for all 5 windows. He did my bros Jeep Patriot about 6 years ago I think it was around $180 for 7 windows. His windows tint still looks great.
If you're in or near San Diego and want a great price I highly recommend this guy. He has his own shop, and from the looks of it he runs it on his own. Took me about two weeks to get an appointment to come in though since he is always booked.

Today is sunny so here's some sunny day shots. I dunno, the pics look lighter than in person. In person the car feels darker inside... 25% front, 5% back, 25% windshield sunstrip. Can barely see in the front windows from outside... Back windows can't see shit from outside unless you cup your hands in the glass and put your face right up to it.
