I just called around for tint prices. Pro-Trim (Dayton Ohio) said $179 for install and they want $25 per door to install the felt on the rubber seal. Zeibart (Dayton Ohio) Said $179 plus $40 per door for the felt. I saw that many people were having the problem with their tint getting scratched because their is no felt inside the window seal.
I was wondering how much they charged other people to put the felt on. Any input is appreciated

I paid 360 for them to remove my old scratched tint and tint all the windows and with felt. it was pricey cause it was high quality tint and high quality job

Jeez. I wasn't expecting to pay that much. I am probably going to have to just fork over the money if I want it done. It just sucks because I have to pay $80 extra just for the felt. Thx for the input

You don't need to pay a hundred dollars for the felt. Just get the kit offered by Tint Protector and do it yourself for about 30 dollars. I did mine last week, since I should be getting tint in the next couple weeks. It is a very easy job to do.

well I have an 02 but I'm getting the whole car done for 250 with a life time guarantee

Well, my side windows glass + rear glass + felt upgrade has cost me USD540 using 3M Crystalline 70% VLT (installed by Lorenzo, NY), while my front wind shield has cost me USD150 using SolarGard Ultra Performance 75% VLT (installed by Tom of The ARt of Tint, NY). Total is USD690!

My friends told me that I was ripped-off with this price, but I told them, these films are top of the line and needs a true PRO tinter to install those, and PROs don't budge on installation prices because they sell quality of workmanship and reliable expertise.

Funny thing is this, one of my friends had to test what I'm talking about, that my 70-75 % VLT films will beat his 20-30% conventional films in terms of UV rays, solar energy blocked, and radio/cellphone signals clarity. So we park our cars side by side with all windows closed for about 2 or more hours with a scourging heat of 98 deg F. Four people will simultaneously sit in our cars and observed how long does the AC will cool down the car and will call the same cellphone number and will note on the clarity and bar strength signal, as well as testing the FM tuner with the same frequency. The four people have voted and my films have won it all! Though the films are not comparable IMO, but then my friend just want to prove that the darker the tint, the effectiveness is greater regardless of film types, quality and brand, but then he was wrong. :thumbsup:

Your test doesn't really prove anything. The two cars AC work differently. Temperature inside the car isn't only affected by the window tint. The color of the car along with the door and window gaskets (I can't spell) play a big role in the interior heat. I think you over paid but it was your money and its your car. Mine and your friends opinion don' really matter. As long as the customer is satisfied.

the 3M crystalline is some pretty high tech ****....at 70% tint darkness it blocks out UV rays like or even better then a darker 20% tint

As I said, the films are not comparable technically because his film is conventionally dyed that only cost him 1/2 of mine but on a darker shade. Besides, I forgot to tell that his car is a 2-week old honda civic so AC and gasket things are assumed functional and effective.

You are right, I'm satisfied with my film big time. Very safe in night/rain driving and backing up, as well as very effective in blocking UV rays and solar heat energy during day driving and don't messed up my cellphone/navi signals. Accordingly, darker tint shade is a road hazard during night/rain driving, especially turning around an intersection corner. And my friend has just told that me that he is driving like a bat during night and with a storm. :57:
