Default Tinting

I'm looking to get justmy two front windows tinted considering the rear are already factory tinted, probably going with 15 or 20 % , I've tried calling places and asking for pricing but they're giving me the bull**** they need to look at it to price it, so if someone could tell me what they paid it would be appreciated

You're in New Jersey and looking for %15-20 tint and mad that you have to go to a shop before they quote you?

It doesn't take a genius to figure it out. They will be breaking the law by tinting your windows. It's to cover their *** in case you are LEO and calling around to see who will illegally tint windows.

Go in and get a quote dude. Don't be surprised if it's more than what mom gave you for lunch money (I say that as a joke, I would assume it's pretty high compared to a legal state).

Why would multiple shops not give you a quote over the phone?

You tell me. Apparently I'm just a dumbass and it has nothing to do with being illegal.

Haha damn dude he just start popping off. Why would anyone want to help someone like that? They won't give you a quote over the phone you know why? Cause they are in business and won't stay in business doing illegal ****. They are cautious and WILL not give you a quote over the phone its not smart business. Tackle did nothing but to try an help.

At the shop here it was $75 for front windows and a brow. Regardless of what on. I've had my truck, 2 Superduty's, our 2010 F-150, and a suburban all done and it was $75 no matter what.

Tackle did nothing but try and help and then ultimately insult the guy.... As for tint you can always look online on Craigslist and that for guys offering to tint, I know it has a risk but that's where I found my guy and he does amazing work, just try ask then for a portfolio of work they have done
