well they nearly all offer life time guarantee now, they all seem to use metallic film so it doesnt go purple like the older tints.

I had mine done by tint proffesor and am very happy with it, i think it was around the $250 mark.

I got mine done at Solartint for $150 back in 2000, it's not darkest, but it's dark, and that was on special.

The top model Tint A Car Forumula 1+ is readily available for $345 or a bit over even during summer. I have had both the EA and the Laser done for this price. The $500 would be retail which you'd have to be insane to pay.
