around $200 would be a fair price. but there are different kinds of films. There are a lot of tint related threads out there. just do a search, and you'll find a lot of useful info.

I'm considering getting mine done (just the back though since I've had it with fix-it tickets), and my friend highly recommended California Tint in Rosemead. In reading the yelp reviews, prepare to go a little before opening time to minimize your waiting time though.

Went by to Promax today. They were doing lots of tint/vinyl work when I went. Nice/funny people. John took care of my grille vinyl wrap and gave me three free CF dinoc cut outs for my key. Definitely recommended! It's a shame he only comes out on Saturdays though.

He looked at me weird too....But then again, who wouldn't look at a college student weird if he had a Mercedes... But yeah. I love how the grille turned out. I just wish the silver plastic around the star could be wrapped Still. Can't beat the price for what I got. I'll probably go again when I want to get the roof done and tails painted/tinted.

I really have no clue how much it costs. They use Johnson Window Film which has served me well this past year. But then again I went with Greystone instead of Ray Guard like most other people go with.
