50 bucks, but it helps that I know someone with a tint shop. =I think he usually charges 130-150 for vettes, they just finished a tint "clean room" also, so the work will be even better than before.

Local SunBusters here (Austin) said that the tint starts at $149 and can go as high as $350 for Corvettes. I'm getting my coupe tinted on Saturday. I'll try to remember to post the actual $$ figure once done.

$100.00 for limo all around. He normally charges 120 for vettes. He has contracts with several dealerships in dfw and is very good. If anyone in the dfw area wants his info just PM me.
