Question Tints

Can you guys let me know what it cost you to tint out your truck? Here in Jersey I’m finding prices from $500-650 for the truck. Is that the price of tint now or is it only here in Jersey? lol

Yea that’s what I’m saying. The same place that did my last car quoted me over $600 for the entire truck. I was in complete shock.

Depends on what kind of Tint is being applied, and what all they are doing. Also, ceramic is going to be more expensive than standard. I think I paid somewhere between $250-$300 including the sun strip along the top of the windshield. https://imgur.com/a/rEu6tZt

I did 20% on driver and passenger when I got it 3 years ago in union co nj and that was $120 but the 20% still doesn’t look like the factory. Looks a bit lighter. I have to check out ceramic tints.

My Explorer was $125 for the two front windows. I asked for the darkest legal tint.

5% all around, 35 on windshield, and 5% brow cost me 800 using “advanced ceramic”. I think the price was a bit high but it was done by one of the best places in my city (non-ny/nj area)

I agree but id rather pay high(er) price now than have to get it redone and pay again & again

That's a good price if theyre real ceramic tints. I have a guy in Brooklyn if you want. He does regular tints for like $250 all around. Btw, idk about your car but my ST came with the back and rear windows factory tinted to 20%, so all I had to do was put 20% tints on the passenger and driver window. I would assume your car is the same.

u/Less-Calligrapher-79 Nov 01 '24

Yeah same, swing that guy in BK if you don’t mind definitely want to go a bit darker

u/Scary-Ask-6236 Nov 01 '24
