Window Tinting (Triangle Area)

Vincent Keene · **Posted:** Wed Jul 21, 2004 2:03 pm

Typically how much is a professional window tint job (for say a Miata) in the Triangle area? I paid $189 for my Cavalier 5 years ago which was well worth it. I was quoted $95 today for my Miata here in Wilson which seemed a little high since the windows are pretty flat, and there are only four small ones. I may be willing to visit the Triangle area for a better price. Anyone with experiences they'd like to share?

Yeah for formula one's best tint you are looking at at least $200 for any hardtop car. But then again you usually get what you pay for.

Lifetime Warranty too...

The shop here uses Lumar? That's what is on my Cavalier and after 6 years it still looks the same. Sounds like $95 is quite a deal huh?

Sounds like a steal to me. Get a quote for me for a G35 Sedan...maybe I will have to come to Wilson to "Get 'er Done"....

Sounds like a plan. I'll leave Judi the Miata for the week and I will test the window tinting in the G-35. :wink:

Figured I'd dredge this one up instead of starting a new one...I'm very happy with the job Formula One on Spring Forest Road in Ralegih did on my S2000. They use Llumar film. When departing, I noticed a small scratch in the tint on the passenger side window - which they immediately stayed after hours to put right.

A little pricey at a little over 200 installed, but the lifetime warranty and quality of the installation made it worthwhile to me. For anyone curious who sees the car, mine's 40%. Dark enough that I no longer need to flip the day/night mirror at night, but still legal.

I had a friend of a friend tint my car with 20% Johnson brand film for $150. No real issues other than finding a place to pass my inspection.

Formula One did the tint on our Mazda 3. It was about $300 for 4 windows and the hatch glass, but they did it right and they did it fast and it looks great!

I plan on getting my Prelude done soon as the hotness is approaching wit a quickness. They quoted me $200 for it.

Well worth it in my opinion...
