So many variables...

- How big/reputable is the place you're going?
- What windows are you getting done? Just rear, or front also?
- What kind of film? Metallic, ceramic, regular?

I went looking around as well and I was quoted from 200 to 400, with the average being $240 with lifetime warranty. $400 was from my BMW dealer.

Thanks.

i have seen prices from 100 to 400 for all windows except windshield. 150-225 would be reasonable i guess, anything more is way too much.

i got it for 200 with life time warrenty. Try to do it in a group its a lot cheaper in my case i had 10 cars doing at the same time. They make soo much money off of tints all ur paying for its labor. But if ur going 150 its probably cheap stuff and u dont want that on ur car.
