$499.00 is way to much, I was just quoted $75 at one shop and $80.00 at another for just 2 windows.
Add $100.00 more for your rear window.

i spoke to a friend in the D.C area and he said it isn't a simple job but for $499.00 he wouldn't let him do it , because he is obviously smoking crack

Apparently, the tint place you went to was going to have to hire a midget so that they could get the rear window done.

Go to another place that already has a midget...

$200 or so might be a reasonable price, considering the size and [in]accessibility of that rear window.
