Yea I dont know about NC but I got mine done here in TX for $300 for Formula 1 Pinnacle 35/5, so I'd say its high but I dont know about other areas or brands.

Shop around, I had mine all done with ceramic tint for 250. Ceramic cuts heat transfer so you may not need it depending on your location.

$400 is a blatant rip off. I paid $220 for mine, and as already stated Ceramic tint, which is the best you can get. The rear window makes it difficult to install, but a good shop can do it.
