Here in Toronto it'd cost like $175 to $250 Cdn. Make sure you get a good tint. Also, I heard some metallic-based tints may affect radio reception, since the antenna is embedded in the rear glass. Not sure, but I think I've heard that somewhere.

Gen 5 tint

Most places here in the states are around $150 - ish. I have seen pre - cut film on e-bay for about $50. Definitely avoid the metal types tho'...it WILL ruin your reception. (I believe it even talks about it in the manual) Hope this helps

Do it at a reputable tinter and having "LIFE-TIME Warrenty" is a HUGE plus for if ever the tint bubbles, rips, peel, TURN PURPLE, ect

Got mine done for 205 us dollars (all 4 windows & 6-inch band on top of front windshield). Some people have said that I got ripped off, but i doubt it. My parents sent their luxury big-baller cruisers (Lexus RX330, Acura TL) all to the same place and they did a very good job. My advice is simple: find a place that, based on reputation, you know does a good job (ask somebody at a luxury car dealership and they'll point you in the right direction).

Oh and by the way, make sure they have a lifetime warranty on their tint products. Nothing worse than purplish tint with bubbles.

true that!

usually the common brand name tints that people buy is quantum, 3m, or llumar. 3m usually costs the most i believe and then quantum. i think they charge around $150-$200 for those but either of those brands are the same and do the work especially for limo tint . for a good price range to do for all the windows is around $150, some places charge over $200, but just all depends on where you go to and the type of brand name of tint that you select. i heard some places charge less approx. $100-$120 for the tints all around and that's a really good deal. although i guess that's down in cali because my uncle had his gen5 tinted 5% back and rear sides and 20% front sides so the total cost for him was $100 and they did a really good job on it with no bubbles. however when i had mine done here in ut the company charged me about double for that price however i still have the lifetime warranty

Paid right around $200 as well. Lifetime warranty. Metallic tint...

No problems at all. Paid that much simply because I've heard nothing but good things about the place.

Best bet would be to call the place you are going to take it to and ask for a price.
