Dang.. I can't see paying 300-500 for a tint job, that is crazy, i don't care if they had the BEST tint in the world.. I pay 120 for 10% around and its fine.
There is somethings i would pay for, but not that much for tint, talk about getting screwed, but with no vaseline

140 for the rear 5 windows. The tint guy could not figure out how to take off my front 2 door panels so he wouldnt do it. He used Solarguard 3% charcoal and it looks great located in Vacaville, CA. Now to just find someone to do my front windows...

90-100 and I only use lummar tint. 10%! So no turning purple even if washed with windex! I pay dealer cost because of my job!

Tint should never cost more then about 150-180

The dealer did not tint your car! They contract all that crap out! They never pay more then 100 for tint and charge you 350! No matter how good they make it sound. Your lexus dealer does not have a in house tinter! Most dealer tinters are mobile and will go to different dealers all week tinting cars! So that Lexus tint is also on the Kia next to you! Dont think just because you have a Lexus the tint is better!
