Default Window tinting in STL

I'm looking at getting the windows tinted on the vert this spring. What's the darkest I can legally go on the sides, and what can I expect to pay for the sides and back vert window?

Legal in Missouri is 35% on the front side windows and no restriction on the back. I went with 35% sides and 20% back. Paid $180. This was for a Coupe. A vert rear window should be much less.

I work for a tinting company. Any tint on the driver's and passenger side is illegal. Anything behind those you can go as dark as you want. Where I tint we use the best tint in the country LLUMAR which comes with a lifetime warranty against bubbling,peeling,fading. For the price, on coupes, the rear window is real tough on vettes, most people cant do a 1 piece of tint, there has to be 2. For a vert, at least where I work it would be around 110$. Even on a coupe it wouldnt be more than 150$ and thats pushin it.

Granite we still tint front windows as well as windshields all the time.

Had my coupe done at Quality Glass Tinting at 13832 Manchester about 2 miles west of 270. 636-391-3888. They did it about 3 1/2 years back and did do the rear glass in one piece.
Have had no problems.
I think it was about $225.00
Good Luck
Tim

Had mine done at Tint Crafter Inc
Address: 6121 Dunn Rd, Hazelwood, MO 63042
Phone: (314) 895-8468

They did my coupe for 189.00, but due to the curves in the window, they said that is the last C6 they do for that price. Yours should be well under $150.00.

They did 5% on the back window and 35% on the sides. First class job.

Actually, I think it's ok if it is before 1982, but that info is 10 years old.
