make sure they put moleskin on the window seal or your **** will get scratched. look for a formulaone tint dealer hands down the highest quality film.

My two front windows in 20% cost me $75.

Moleskin:
Apparently, the newer Titans don't have the felt strip anymore that protects the window from scratching. You can ask the tint guys to put a protective strip in the door that protects the window/tint from scratching.

I paid $70 for the two fronts with titanium tinting.

I paid $ 75 also. The mole skin refered to is in between the rubber at the top of the door panel and the glass.

I got 3M 35% (Legal for MD) for 60 bucks. They told me I already had felt and didn't need anything. Rarely roll it down, but no scratches so far, lifetime warranty

I would take a look I don't think any Titan's came with the felt. Should be able to see it right against the window.

$50 where i got it done. $250 when the cop wrote the ticket for it though.

15% will match it but its illegal in texas.

it's only illegal if you get caught. LOL. I slipped the guy at the tint shop a $20 for the dot approval stickers, then tinted them my self. LOL

there are several good tint brands. here are a few you will find in the southeast.

madico and llumar are the best in the southeast .

solargard ,suntek ,and johnson are mid grade.

the thing you want to stay away from is dyed film. It will look darker but it also fades very fast and turns purple.

50 to 75 dollars is normal for two front windows in the southeast. if they are using dyed film 20 will match the back. metal films will take 15 percent to match the back.

The edge of the window should have tight borders and not a huge gap. i prefer to file my edges but most shops do not . I only do about 10 cars a year now for friends and family. . i taught my wife to tint when we had a shop in atlanta and really do not care to do anymore.
