Default 2006 GS300 Window Tint - Cost?

I am interested in getting my 2006 Mercury Metallic GS300 tinted. (all windows except windshield) What would be a ball park cost? Of course I want a professional job and a ceramic or a product that allows lightly tinted film to blocks high amounts of heat.

get non metallic so your AM reception doesn't get messed up. Anyway, you can get tint for 150 bucks or less

Just curious, what city are located in? $150 or less would be a great deal. In the Bay Area California would be over $200 for all 4 windows plus the rear.

I too would recommend not going with metallic especially with NAV.

in southern california, you can easily find tint place that can do all windows except windshield for $115-125 with life time warranty.

but anyway, with ceramic, you are looking at over 500, nothing will beat its ability to keep out the heat and i am sure many can vouch for that

OK, so stay away from metallic since it will mess with Nav and AM reception.

Thanks for the replies!
