I got a quote of $399 to tint my 93 Caprice wagon recently but that is WAY to expensive IMO.
Does anyone reading this know of some good quality pre-cut tint kits for our wagons for a decent price?
I tinted my 73 Cadillac sedan years ago with tint I had purchased from a tint shop and it came out quite well.
I'm from a small town so the choices are very limited.
Thanks in advance!

Both amazon and ebay have the pre-cut kits available.If possible buy the high end film like 3M because it seems to apply easier and last longer according to a local guy who has been doing tints for 25 years.He no longer does cars just high end homes with that solar film.

Be careful that the tint is preformed to the curve of the window. All windows on the car are compound curves, and if the tint is not preformed, it will not apply satisfactorily. I got most of mine done for about $150 (all except the front doors and vista glass) about 3 years ago. That figures out to about $30 per glass. I can not imagine the difference to $399 since then. A mobile guy came out and did it at the house.

I paid $250 I believe in GA about 2 years ago looked good. Be carefull playing with the wing window in the back as my tinter somehow broke the latch off the glass and I still haven't found any thing that works to reglue glass to the hinge.
