I don't know how much for just those two windows. I have been quoted $175-$225 for my 98 coupe. The $199-$225 range is using some better film (heat resistance etc.) that is cut in one piece. All of them came with a lifetime warranty.

$60 for the pair at Ziebart two years ago, and an excellent job. Good luck with it.

I had mine done a couple of months ago. Paid $250 for all three windows (driver side window/passenger side window/back glass). Got it done from a man who had specialized for over 30 years. Very Professional. Paid a little bit more because it was good film and is guarnteed to last with a lifetime warranty. He did all windows with 1 sheet of film. This was a good thing for the back window. A lot of people will tell you they can't do the back glass in just 1 sheet. If they can't do this then don't let them do your car. Not sure about your are but definately would ask around and check out some of the cars they've done. Good luck and hope it looks as good as mine.

Just paid $ 150.00 for 20% on all 3 windows. They charged me less than a Coupe, as my rear window is smaller (Z06). For the two side windows, I think the amount was $ 80.00 on my receipt.
