I just got a quote for my 2009 C6 coupe...the guy told me the back window, because of its unique shape, would cost me $200, then $55 for each of the front windows...so $300 total. Then he explained it's usually more expensive to tint Corvette windows...can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks!

Back window yes, make sure he has done a vette before, i understand there a pita.

Seems a bit high, what kind of tint are they going to use?

For comparison, I got mine tinted with ceramic for 250

OneSickVette

Thanks for the replys guys. He mentioned the tint is ceramic as well wiht a lifetime warranty.

That's about right for around South Florida with a "good" installer.

Coupe back window is a pain. Ask if it is one piece and what di they do to cover the dots.

That is what I paid 4 yrs ago in DFW.

OneSickVette

The guy told me it's one piece and they take care of the dots too...he said we've done a few Corvettes so they know what they're doing.

Wow, I got my Vette done 20% all around for $175. Shop around is all I can suggest.

Thiat is what they did with mine. I paid about the same and it still looks perfect 5yrs later.

$200 for the back window here also. Make sure you have someone that has done a vette before and is willing to "slice" the upper section with a double layer so you don't get see the dots. My guy was a pro, the entire window is BLACK.. well worth the extra to get this particular window done right.

Polar Jet

Car looks great with the dark tint. Getting mine done this spring and am looking at 15 or 17% all around. What % is on yours?

TSLAVette

what does someone who knows what they're doing do with the dots???

Cherokee Nation

Does anyone know what those "DOTS" are for??? I've heard some tinter's sand them off,.,,.

Just Buy It

IMHO, dont do it. Its fine the way it is. In NY you can get a ticket for it. Its your ride so do what you want. Just think it through.......

doggman

Got a rough estimate today for a vert and it was $170.

Torch Ace

Most good tinters will cut a solid black piece of vinyl with adhesive on one side and use it over the dots. If you use regular tint you will see white around all the dots because the tint won't stick around them. I wouldn't let them sand the dots and scratch the glass. If you've got a good tinter he will know how to do it. The secret is to ask first instead of being unhappy later.
