Has this happened to anyone?
I went with my friend to a tint shop to get a quote for his car and its came to 240 cause it was a 4dr
so i asked him how much it would be for an SVX he's like 2dr? $200 I show him a pic of my car on my phone and he said "oh... that thing would be 260" lol

Re: Has this happened to anyone?
I cost me $328. And that was cheap because I've known the shop's
owner for 10 years. Granted it took the guy 5 hours to do and it turned out great.

Re: Has this happened to anyone?
I tried to explain to a guy here that my car is not the typical two door vehicle and he got frustrated and shouted that he guaranteed that it'll only be $160. I was like... "ok"

Re: Has this happened to anyone?
The guy who did mine charges 140 for 2 doors, 180 for svx's. i mentioned svx and he said 'oh those cars'. he'd done 2 before so mine came out excellent.

Re: Has this happened to anyone?
someone who owned my SVX before me had the windows tinted purple but it was so long ago that the tint started to come off by itself! they didnt tint the inner window up front which i thought was odd because they did every other window lol i got all of it off except for the back windshield...because of the defrost...i am debating on weather or not i want to get them retinted or not cus i couldnt see very well with that purple on there

Re: Has this happened to anyone?
The shop that did mine charged "per window" and they considered the split windows "separate windows". So they charged for 9 windows instead of 5 like any other two door.
