Raleigh, NC Window Tint

I'm looking to get my altima tinted soon, and I started shopping around. I was quoted 285, and 245 so far from two different shops for everything except for the windshield, and an additional 140 and 150 for the windshield.

These prices sound a little high in my opinion. I had an amazing tint job on my TL that was about 220 for everything with lifetime warranty included aside from the windshield back up north when I lived in NJ where supposedly everything is more expensive. I have read about $150-$200 tint jobs with amazing results from people in various areas of the country here on AZ over the course of my membership here.

Are any places in the Wake Forest/Raleigh/Durham area more in that price range? If this is the cheapest I am going to find I will just bite the bullet, but I figured people who have lived in the area longer than i have (I have only been here about 2 months) would know better than me. Thanks guys.

I just got my TL tinted a week ago by CARS: http://www.teamcaraudio.com/index.html

Installation: 4 hours
Price: $250

This include the tint, labor and rear mole skin which isn't normally included with $300 tints.

All my 5 previous cars were done with FormulaOne, so this is the first time I've used CARS. Quality of tint and the installation was far better than FormulaOne.

The guy that installed mine isn't a full-time employee. He only comes on Tuesday so you're better off calling ahead and make an appointment.

If you want to see the work, just let me know - we could probably meet up somewhere.

I stopped in this place yesterday to talk to them. I was skeptical about them, because I had no idea the kind of work they did. I was quoted 245 from them though not including the windshield. It would be cool if I could check out the work they did on your car one day. What percentage did you get?? I am looking to do 5 % all around and 50% on the windshield. I have out of state plates so I am not worried about receiving tint tickets since I do not technically have to comply with their tint law. I know this from experience because my TL had 20% tint and 50% on the windshield and i drove around for a year like that with not even so much as a second glance from a cop.


I actually live right across the street from the shopping center that the place is in... how far from there do you live?
