Default Local tint job quotes for C5?

Looking to get windows re tinted. I'm a new owner of a C5Z and the previous owner didnt notice the bubbles and peeling on the windows. I got a quote from 5-point Detail in San Diego which was $400, smh. I have always paid $180-220 for all of my cars. $400 can't be the norm here in CA, is it?

Anyone got there Vette done lately? I'm looking to get this done, ASAP.

The guy at 5 point detail mentioned something about doing tint on a Corvette is difficult as the reason for the price. I just nodded alot with him.

Terrific Tint in Mission Viejo... about $180-220 depending on how generous they are feeling. They do outstanding work and have done my last 5+ cars.

Thanks all for the input.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the tint from SD Tint in Sorrento Valley. My apt is for Thursday. I met some members here that had there car done there and I must say it looked pretty damn amazing. They apply vinyl to the dot matrix so your not stuck with seeing dots in the top part of the rear windshield. Quote was $280 plus they will be taking my preexisting tint off.
