just wondering how much you guys paid for tint on your type r? I was quoted around 260 for every window and hatch. Just wanted to see if this is a good price
Wouldn't removing the spoiler allow for a more thorough job? If it's typically required, I wouldn't think you'd want someone that shortcuts.I paid around $300 for xpel ceramic tint. Good stuff!! Make sure you go to a place that doesn't have to take your wing apart to install!!
The shop I used had already done a few CTRs so they had the pattern already cut for the back window. This allowed them to do the job without removing the spoiler. I had just heard that some places were charging alot extra for that extra step. I just know in my case I'd rather avoid things having to be removed from the car if at all possible. They did a great job though I was very happy.Wouldn't removing the spoiler allow for a more thorough job? If it's typically required, I wouldn't think you'd want someone that shortcuts.
Did the place also have an extra rear glass to heat shrink the film on because that's why most places say either remove the spoiler or it will be done in multiple pieces.The shop I used had already done a few CTRs so they had the pattern already cut for the back window.

Quality of tint matters significantly. To go from Ceramic to Pinnacle for the entire car literally doubled the cost. Plus a station wagon not only has more windows but it has larger windows as well. Not really comparing apples to apples.Wow, these are all very cheap. In the bay area it's quite expensive. I haven't done my CTR yet, but a family member's station wagon was like $700. The station wagon has more windows and I won't do anything by 3m crystalline, so that's part of it.
Aside: I like seeing out my windows at night, I don't like the look of tint, and I think it makes it look like you have something to hide, which isn't a good thing when getting pulled over. 3m crystalline allows you to block a lot of heat without having it be dark. It works because it blocks the infrared light, which is the light that transmits heat, without blocking visible light, so the 3m crystalline 70% is very cool (temperature wise), which is what I got for my family member's car. I'm going to do 90% for my CTR.
