I got 15% Lumar all around for 135.00. Comes with a lifetime warranty. You can see pics of it in my sig.

I got it for 120, but I was hooked up. When I tinted my automatic, it cost 145. Both lifetime warranty.

The guy i talk to told me also lifetime warranty, but 215 seems a little too much.

Alot of it will depend on the type of tint and the % of VLT(Visible Light Transmission). Here's a good sight for some helpful tips as well as your state tint laws. http://www.tintdude.com/

Does removing the tint after it is put on mess up the windows in any way?

no, windows may have a lotta stick on it, which may require some tough rubbing, but other than that windows wouldn't be messed up. Unless you mean removing the tint on the rear windshield w/ the defrosters.

i got a new black chrome tint that just came out....... set me back 205$. when i had my 4runner tinted it was only 140 with lifetime warranty. unless you're getting a top of the line tint (3M or so) then 215 is outrageous. when you take the tint off your windows it won't damage them at all. when you pull it off the window you will notice a sticky glue substance left behind on the windows. you can take some type of acetone to it and lots of rubbing and it will come off no problem.

Ok, thanks for the replies.

Reason I was asking was because I recently got a fix-it-ticket from an very obviously bored cop sitting on the side of the road...So now I have to have my front side window tint removed and get the ticket signed off by a police officer. I wish you could just pay these fix-it tickets off instead, dam.
