Window Tint
So a place that sells and installs subs, speakers, neons, alarms and tinting wants to charge me $230.00 for tint for all my windows on my 02 Bonne.
Does this seem like to much? Because Im still in highschool and this will take a huge dent out of my wallet it feels like.

I live in Michigan, not sure what kind of film it is but the price includes how dark you want the tint. Theres like a 30 day warranty im sure and any proffesional place wont leave bubbles..

It really varies around the country, and the price tinters pay for their products as well. $200 + or - for quality tint done by an experienced installer is not unreasonable. I paid 2 and some change. It'* would really help if you had some friends or acquaintances that have had theirs done in the region. Call around to see what the prevailing rates are in your area. Mine came with a lifetime warranty against peeling.

Yep Here in Indy one of the best auto custom shops here is Wax Works and they charge something around that range maybe a little higher. Tint is one of those things that when its done wrong it looks REALLY bad, but when done right adds a lot to the overall look of your car. so assume your getting what you pay for....quality.

Whoa whoa whoa...hold the phone... a 30 day warranty??? Thats it?? Not for $230.00. Uh uh...no way. Step away slowly, get in your Bonne, and get the hell outta there!
Go somewhere else and get pricing. I had my Bonne done with 20% tint, lifetime warranty for $150.00. My thunderbird was done the same, also with a full lifetime warranty and I paid $90.00 and I havent had any issues what so ever with fading, bubbles, or peeling.
