i tinted over 250 car in the last 10 years as a side job to make a few bucks here and there. The average price for a car is 150 give or take a couple bucks. The kind of tint you get and how good of a job the person did putting it on the window will decide how long it will last! I hope you dont decide to buy cheap tint. If you have never tinted b4 and you figure all the time you will put toward trying tinting yourself with parts and materials you are better off paying to have it done. I am sure if you bring your car to me or a good shop that you will be able to see the difference from when you di it yourself. When i do a back window it is 1 peice of tint. You can not do that with the smaller rolls so you will need 2 rolls just for the back window!
2 rolls for a back window = $30
2 rolls for both sides = $30
materials will cost you about = $15
your total is $75 and you will spend 5-6 hours trying to get it to look good.
2 more rolls of tint after you mess it up = $105

Just bring your cheap but here for 2 hours and have me do it for the $130
(That is cheap around here.)
It will look good!!!!!!
Steve's car is a good example of my tinting skill
