How much did you pay to have your C6 windows tinted. What % of tint did you go with?

175 and it was for all 3 windows on my z. He said he used the best quality tint. I am in Mn so what do I know....tinter had been long time Ca resident so I figured he knew what he was doing. Except for moving to Mn! Good luck, keeps heat way down in my car.

175 isnt bad. Do you use your vette as a DD in Min?

Good price. I paid 250. 25 on side windows, 15 in back. (lower the number, the darker the tint) 25 is the legal limit in Oklahoma, even though they dont have a vehicle inspection nor do they care too much about tinting here.

I paid 300, but mine is the only one I have ever seen that was done right. 5% on all 3.

I think I paid $240 for all three windows. On the rear hatch where the dot matrix is on the top they used limo tint, on the rest of it they used 35%. One thing to note is the side window tint, I went with the least tint I could as so to actually see out the windows at night. Just choose a good tinter, do it right the first time.

Well mine is done right and paid $275. 50% all around. I had 30% all around on the M3 and 350Z. Felt like I could get away with 50% without much worry. I feel the car looks better with even tint all around.

$300 for all three windows, don't remember the % but almost the darkest on the rear and next to the lightest on the sides.
the rear came out excellent, one piece.
