Default Window Tinting

I have a 2001 Monte Carlo LS and it is black and it has very see through windows and I was thinking it would look a lot better if the windows were tinted....about how much would it cost to get the windows tinted professionally?

i think i read somewhere that on the back glass in the car you need to use a certain type of tint because of the heater element or something to do with the backglass ....

Do NOT get the el cheapo tint. Ihad Madico Charcoal w/lifetime warrantyput on mine (35% and 20%, what'slegal here). Here's a bit more info from the place that does all our vehicles.

The pic in my sig is not tinted but there are pics in my gallary that are. Makes a huge difference in the look on any color, but the tint on black is very classy.
The one in my avatar shows the tinted.

I should add, the pic in my sig is not 20%. It's the old tint that I removed. 35% I think.

Hows it work with the percentage numbers?? The lower the number the darker the tint??? I think the tint that TAZ has on his car in his sig looks good......

Yea the lower the number the darker the tint. Law in South Carolina is 35% but i knew i wanted it darker than that. I've never heard of needin special tint for the back window though, if there is please share the wisdom lol.
