Hey, what level of tint is that (percentage-wise)? I've been thinking about doing the tint thing on my '05 moonstone vibe, but haven't had a good way to figure out how for to go...

I'm not sure what the percentage is. The fronts are legal, but I told the installer I wanted the rest of the glass darker than the fronts and left it up to them, but I'm satisfied. Sorry I can't help.

No problem- I'll just bug a tinting shop around here in Indianapolis... How much did the tinting run you?

Hoy hell...that's it???Up here it costs like $250 for a half-arsed job! I've been afraid to get tint ecause I have yet to see a descent job done on my friends cars. They pay upwards of $200...Maybe I should drive down to Texas to get it done.

When I called around to various tint shops, I said I was gathering price quote info for a full tint job on my Vibe. I got a high of $209.00 down to a low of $110.00. I didn't like the appearance of the shop that gave the low bid and did like the small mom & pop shop that did the job.When you call around, let the shops know your getting quotes from the competition. If they want your business they will "get down in the dirt" to get your business. I called 7 shops locally and as you can see there was a wide price range.Good luck!(also, there a bunch of good reasons to drive down to Texas)
