Front windows tinted for $65?
I got a quote to get the front two windows tinted to match the rest of the windows for $65. He said they would match the rear tint perfectly. Is that a good deal? Or are they probably going to use the cheap crap that will bubble in 2 months? I know absolutely nothing about window tint so someone please chime in.
I had the fronts and a windshield strip for $90, so your price is about right. I noticed right away that the top grade tint that was installed the front is a slightly different shade than the rears. It seems to get better after a few weeks.

I wish I could have the front windows darkened like the rear. In Alabama the
window tint police will write you up.

However, 65 bucks a year for dark fronts isn't too bad... so long as you don't get a ticket....the quote is about right, 70 is the going rate, make sure you are getting 3m tint, and that they do the whole window, and that you get a nationwide, lifetime warranty.
Round here, $65.00 is downright cheap. I've gotten two quotes, one at $85.00 the other $104.00
We are allowed 35%, I imagine the rears are 20%, but cops around here have better things to do with their time than hassle motorist.

sounds about right. mine were about that price. like others said, check local laws. most tint shops know that.
In general if they give you a receipt, you are legal. No recipt, no legal. In my experience.

First I would check your state laws if it were me. I was stopped once in Utah while driving my sons car. It had tinted front windows. I would have gotten a ticket if I was a young guy I'm sure, but the trooper told me to just keep the front windows down untill I was out of Utah instead.
As far as price goes I paid $109.00 for both front windows and the back window on my regular cab.
