Default Estimation for Tinting Prices

I'm about ready to tint the car and I got one quote for $180, but this is from a place that usually is known for HIDs and not tinting.. I haven't asked the place where I usually get my tint from, but wanted to know how much is the estimate pricing for tinting all the windows except the windshield... also, I heard that it's not good to use Titanium Tint for our cars because of the technology that may interfere with radio frequency, but it's just something I heard from one person... should I go with Titanium tint or just the regular tint?

It's about $120 for dye tint, which is the cheapest and offers the least amount of heat protection.

Then it's about $150 for metallic tint. It offers some heat protection but interferes with AM and Nav reception.

Ceramic tint is the most at about $180, but does not interfere with reception and provides the best heat protection.


Use the "Search" function to get answers to most of your questions. You'll find a lot of new IS owners with similar questions to yours.

Good luck!

Not sure about Nav, but my metallic tint does not interfere with AM reception. I listen to AM 90% of the time.

I was told that the nav antenna is under the front dash. Assuming the information I got is correct, all tints will not interfere with nav as long as you don't tint your front windsheild.

If I had nav, I would still use metallic tint because I don't believe the rumors.
