Window Tint Too Expensive

[lUtriaNt]

I've taken 3 cars (and plan to take our upcoming MYP) to the same place in Redondo Beach, Fresh Window Tint. ask for Jose the owner if you're interested. TBH, not the cheapest option but they carry quality products and have done awesome work in the past.

my rear including the entire roof is limo/5%. the sides I did 15% and front windshield in 60%. unlike others, I don't really care for the glass roof so in anticipation for the warmer summers, I went as dark as possible with the highest grade, heat rejection.

they got a shop up in sant clarita so imma give them a shot. im in the valley.

Even in los angeles,

mind sharing where you got your tint done?

Having the windshield tinted with crystalline (or equivalent) heat/IR blocking tint is a game changer, although illegal.

I went with 70% on the windshield and 20% sides and back glass. The 20% everywhere else makes the 70% windshield look “untinted”.

Just my 2 cents.

Agreed! The 70% windshield is amazing. Not only for heat blocking but it cuts down on glare from the sun and reflections during the day and headlights at night.

Hello all! I recently purchased a ‘21 M3P. My question is why is window tint so darn expensive for these cars? I’m getting quotes for $900 & up to tint all the glass except the roof.

I was quoted $1200 for Suntek Ceramic in Camarillo on 5 windows. I went to Concours Auto Spa (Vendor on here) They did all windows including windshield with the same Suntek Ceramic for around half that price. They do TONS of Tesla's so I trusted them and they did a great job.

These guys in Sherman Oaks did my black/black M3LR this morning -- Glass Tinting | Sherman Oaks, CA | Sunshield Glass Tinting

Tremendous job, very communicative. $600 for 4 windows + rear (didn't do windshield for now). Will post pics in a few days once the film has set and I'm able to give it a wash. Went with 20% windows and 15% rear at the recommendation of the shop.

Bumping with pics updated. Car a bit dusty here in the valley. No bubbles of any kind that I've noticed.

$50 for ceramic tint on all all side windows from amazon and I installed it myself.....

 

[matnetik]

I paid $720 in Los Angeles for 20% on all windows, 10% on the back glass all the way up (full piece, no cut) and 70% on the windshield - all Scorpion Ceramic. Did a review on it here: Model 3 Tint - YouTube

3M carbon tint. $375 with one piece rear window.

 

[bpobill]

Just had mine tinted today. $200 for all sides, partial back glass. Non ceramic. $440 for ceramic.

 

[Beematic83]

450 here in Eastern Massachusetts from a reputable shop that has been in business total of 20 plus years. That using ceremic front, back and trunk.

 

[weaksquad]

I paid 520 to have the emblems removed and tinted windows, windshield and one piece rear glass in ceramic

I guess I never thought of it but do people just get the rear window section tinted or do they get the entire run of glass up through the roof tinted?

I did just the back portion and they matched it well. Saved a few hundred bucks I think.

Can a California registered car have tint applied out of state? I was thinking of saving some money by having Tint installed when visiting family in Arizona.

 

[Ravens_88]

Chiming in for $200 in Maryland. 20% sides and back and came out very nicely.

 

[HorizonVanGogh]

I got quoted $8500 for Xpel PPF+Tint all panels and all glass in Denver, CO @ Colorado Detail. Don't know what to really say about this...

Sure -just make sure you don't tint the car to Arizona levels -they allow deeper tint than CA on the front side windows.

Even in los angeles, you shouldn't pay more than maybe 500 max for a good quality ceramic tint. All these luxury name brand ceramics don't mean anything except more money out of your pocket. I've been in various cars with overpriced ceramic tints n didn't see or notice any difference between what I've had before n chose to get again on my model Y. Rayno s9. You can do s7 for cheaper but s9 blocks out more heat and it's noticeable. Where i went, they had a display sample with a heat lamp in a box and all 4 sides of the box being glass with different tint brands n the difference in radiating heat between s7 and s9 wasn't night n day but it was noticeable. 4 door windows, windshield and back glass was $500. S7 woulda been $400. $200 more for the roof but i chose not to since my car doesn't sit out in the sun. Being that prices for almost everything have gone up, this cost may have also increased since last march when i got mine done. Also, some places will go the cheap route and install the back glass in 2 pieces since they don't carry large enough film to do it in 1 piece. This is important for some folks which will also alter the cost a bit.

I called Alex Tint and now they want $1250 for s9 all windows include roof. So 2x as much now.
