How much was it? The tint shops here will do both front windows for 50 bucks installed, how much could you possibly saved, vs. Looking at a not perfect job every time you see your truck?
In Jersey for 2 front windows typical price is no less then $100.

Depends on the tint used.

Mine was $120 using nano ceramic tint. Only $85 using standard tint.

It was $30 for both windows (precut). I’m a big DIYer and love taking care of things myself so it’s more about how good it feels to take care of it myself than the money saved. I feel confident enough now to buy a roll and cut it myself on future vehicles.

Without getting into too much detail,the whole “safety” thing is a joke. When I was in AZ pretty much every vehicle had 5% tint and it never became a safety issue. It’s just one of those laws designed to generate revenue tbh

Here in MN I think we can only have 50% on the front windows. I’m bound to help generate revenue for them sooner or later.

Knock on wood...I’ve been in the Cities for several years now and haven’t gotten tagged. But they have bigger fish to Fry down here it seems

You’re close by! Yeah...Duluth has its problems, but probably nothing like the cities.
