Wow. Yall pay some crazy prices. I can get all windows done for a 120 bucks for decent tint or 175 for top notch. Front tow for 50 or 75. There are different grades of tint as well. Better quality will keep heat out better, easier to see out of, and wont fade versus cheap tint. But still jus the two front windown should not cost over 75 bucks. Tint is dirt cheap. My buddy owns a shop and makes a killing. Oh yea. 15% will probably look darker than the rest of the windows.

That's a damn good price. Must be the area, I shopped around and it was the going rate. I went w/ Madico Charcool tint. One of the better grades offered at the shop I went to. It's a died tint, but isn't supposed to purple or fade.

I thought 20% was what the factory tint was? The slightly darker 15% fronts should match the back due to the extra light coming in through the windshield, no?

i paid $60 for mine to be done. also i got 13% and its an identical match. they told me factory tint is 13%. the trick is that its a 13% charcoal tint instead of the usual black or smoke colored tint.
