Contents

A basic tint for an average-sized car using standard film may cost $99 for the entire vehicle.

Using higher quality tint costs between $199 to $400 for the entire vehicle, depending on several factors, Aburumuh says.

“That’s the price for heat rejecter tints,” Aburumuh says.

How dark are you allowed to tint your windows?

The common allowable limits are 50 percent for the driver’s front and passenger’s front window, and 35 percent for the rear passenger or side windows and the rear windshield. If your window tint is too dark, you are not able to see well enough out of your windows to drive safely at night.

Tinting is permitted only along the top 5 inches of the windshield. Side and rear windows may not be covered or treated with tinting that allows a light transmittance of less than 35%. Reflective material is not permitted on any vehicle windows. All windows except the rear window must contain 2-way glass.
