Prices vary on the film and tint market. The rear glass, at least on the Limited, is already tinted, and my wife doesn't like her windows too dark. I had the shop tint the fronts to match the rear using Llumar 20% for about $120. This included the front quarter glass. Perfect match.

The Pacifica looks really sharp with the fronts tinted to match the rears. Sadly, tinting is not allowed hear in VT.

they quoted me a 3m premium for $65 for the front windows and $275 formthe whole thing. i dont know i i should tint the rear too. if its already titnted, why would i retint it? right?

Illegal here too, but doing anyway next week. Going to do 35-40% probably to make it not so obvious though. Was there a specific color or model of the Llumar you used? Concerned about matching the coloring of the tint

I would (and will) do all the windows as factory doesn't include a great deal of uv protection. You can have limo black tint and very little uv block!

I always go with 95% uv protection and up with ceramic 5% tint in the back and legal (30% Washington State) in the front driver and passenger side glass.

If I had a sunroof, I would do the 95+% uv block and 5% ceramic tint. I have that in my Mazda CX-9 and I never have to close the sunroof visor...the sun is never hot (uv radiant heat) or blinding.

Mine are tinted to match the rear glass. 20% I believe, ceramic and it cost me a touch over $300. My sig picture shows it.

I had mine done within the first week of getting the van.

 

[minivan]

its very nice but a bit pricey. i got a quote for 3M for $65. i dont know about the quality though but i heard 3m is good.

I forget... did you plastidip your wheels? I want to do that for my Tusk White (same rims) but I want a bit of bronze to it. I looked at the autodip and it looks pretty cool. $100-$150 for four tires. I also have a powder coating shop that will do them $50 a rim.

As I person that has had 3 cars tinted professionally, I can assure you you do not want a $65 tint job. Guarantee to bubble up or peel or turn purple in a few years. They average price I have paid is roughly $250 for all wheels. Newer cars tend to get charged more as the professional rarely does a car that I bring in yet... so I have been the first one. 2010 Mazda 3 (new $235) 2011 Mazda CX-9 (two years old $250) 2016 Prius (new -- just came out when I got it tinted $275). These all come with lifetime tint replacement and none of them have faded.

Don't go low on the price!

Do the powder coating. Plastic-dip is quite a bit of work and it is a rubbery surface that does not clean up easily, so you have to keep re-painting it for it to look good. I did the wheels on my Mazda5 and I won't do again. Mine also kept peeling along the rim edge at the tire.

Thanks. Not to d-rail this post any but... check out the autoflex paint video Motorweek did. The bumper came off and was dragged... looks like reg. scratches. However, it is not a DYI process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=wnAPdD4YsUc

I just use the standard Formula One tints. If we kept our vehicles forever, I'd consider doing the ceramics...The match up with the 20% is excellent.

 

[Wendygirl]

Formula One 35% fronts. It doesn't match the backs, but it's legal and look and feel better than before!

 

[taningray]

We tinted ours yesterday, we used Formula One Pinnacle, 15% all around, we have used this tint on our Avalanche for 7 years, could not be happier with it......Looks good too!

 

[NewLTDPac]

Had my fronts done last Wednesday. Intention was to go dark but decided to stay legal with 35%. Not as dark as I?d like, but hey it?s a minivan so I?m good.

Looks great wish I could go that dark but it's illegal in New York State. I went with 50% which is only one shade above illegal...

Awesome guys.

For those of you that did the back windows, did you just tint over what’s there or does the factory stuff come off fairly easily?
