I don't know why there would be a difference in CLS/TLS windows and CLP/TLP windows but I had my CL'P' tinted for around $325. I put 32% on the sides, back three with a bit of metallic in it for one purpose: I had 32% put on the windshield also, with no metallic. It's easy to distinguish the two films in direct sunlight, and it looks like there's no tint on the windshield. Overall, on a black car like mine, it looks very good. I just wish it was darker!

my windshield was an extra $100...so if you factor everything right, I came out ok. Considering they took out my entire rear interior in order to get the third brake light covered since it's not in use, I didn't mind paying the price. These guys have always done work for me in the past, they're very respectable. And the warranty, lifetime. Audio Creations in Birmingham, Alabama. If anyone's in the southeast with me, look them up. They do alot of work for dealerships, so all of the crew know the inside and out of 90% of the new cars on the road, which is why I didn't mind taking my brand new CL up there.

I’m getting mine done Saturday.
My guy regularly charges 300 for FIVE windows.
There’s not a lot of competition here in PA like I’m sure there is in California & Florida.

He’s charging me only 100-bucks because I’ve gotten him a lot of business over the years and this is the SEVENTH car he is doing for me since 1986.

$260 for 32% Formula One (made by the same company as LLumar) for 5 windows w/ Lifetime warranty. I probably could have got it for cheaper somewhere else, but I plan on having my car for a while, so I don't mind shelling out an extra 100 for the piece of mind knowing it is done right.

It cost me $300...the guy normally charges $350 starting price for 3 back windows for the Quantum metalic tint...Me and buddies (5 total cars) went and we got $300 for all car for all windows except the front windshield. Lifetime warranty. Covers scratches, fading (since it contains no dye, it won't fade anyway), bubbles, or anything else. Pretty coo...if anyone tells me how I can post pics...i will post pics of my car with the tint...

$129 for all around (which means sides and back. Windshield is illegal so most places would refuse that unless you pay extra.)

Quality sungard stuff, not purple junk.

Why would you get your windshield tinted?

I tinted my windshield to cut down on the amount of blindness from other drivers. It's only 32% which is like wearing a very light shade of sunglasses looking out...Plus on a black car, it looks beautiful, and it's very unnoticeable. Besides that, I wanted to so :P

The $200 to $250 range is about standard.
The rear window is $100 or more & the sides are about $20 to $25. Like said it also depends on the area you live in & if tint is in demand. The CL should be cheaper because its not a 4 door car.
