The conversation started off as.....
"How much for a 25 x 25" piece of glass with dark tint on it?"
The reply was in the range of $75.00 plus tax.
I then asked how much smoked glass was, and one of the guys behind the counter, once he saw my sticker shock face said, "If the smoked is cheaper....we match the price for the tinted glass".
At the end of it all, it was $55.00....and still a little high in my opinion.
When you go in, haggle a bit, and offer them a cash deal. You should do better than I did.

Well, I learned the hard way.
5% tint is TOO dark.
Now what to do.......
Shifty:
Thanks for the price check, I am prepared to spend up to $100. Was your glass tempered? I want tempered for safety.
I assume you mean by 5%, it lets through only 5% light? If so, that's limo tint! Most cars are about 35-50%. I was thinking about 80% would be sufficient -- just enough to block the unsightly monitor attachment and such.
If it's just film tint, you should be able to go back, and give them a 20 or so to put on something lighter.

Yeah, I will have to get them to redo it.
The other thing is that there still are a few small water bubbles under the tint that the guy said would disappear over a couple of days. That was four days ago.
I think I'll play the disgusted customer, and ask for it to be redone.....with a lighter tint of course..... ;)

~20%. If you aren't trying to hide the monitor outlines, go to standard 35% transmission auto tint.
