How much did you pay for Window Tinting in your camaro?

I really would like the ceramic tinting since it reflects and blocks more heat than normal window tint. I was quoted a price of $260 + tax and said that was the best they could do.

I decided against mirror tinting because the metal in the tint could interfere with bluetooth, wifi, navigation, etc...

Is ceramic tinting really this expensive?

15% !?!? Limo tint = 5%, right?

How do y'all get away with that low of tint?

I want the legal limit of 32% in Georgia. I just don't see why tinting, even ceramic tinting, is going to cost $260.

Just got mine tinted the other day with the ceramic tint. I went with 30% on the front windows and 15% on the others (lowest legal for both) and it ran me $290.

I don't know if I've ever seen it irl before. What's the difference in appearance than standard tint?

From what I understand, someone correct me if I'm wrong, it's a ticker tint to block more sunlight. And with my car being black on black and living in Texas it was defiantly needed. Also I've seen some other cars that had a standard tint where you can see some imperfections but that could be caused from the person installing it. But I'm sure someone else can explain the differences better.
