WOW, that's cheap. I'm going 5% on the rear and sides, and 15-20 on the left and right passenger, along with a strip at the top of my front windshield

250 bucks.

Pennsylvania Economics 101:

My area only has two tint shops.

Tint shop A charges 300.

Tint shop B charges 300.

Tint shop A drops price to 250.

Tint shop B cannot afford to drop or else will not make enough money to pay bills.

Tint shop A takes all of tint shop B's customers.

Tint shop B goes out of business.

I am stuck going to tint shop A.

HOWEVER, I have a lifetime warranty against ANY purpleing, blueing, chipping, scratching, or fading. If any of those occur, i take it back, he retints them, for free.

Deeper competition in CA. I'd imagine there is much more business in general there for tinting than WI or PA. It's 250 here as well.

Short of the actual land costs, CA has it great for wage/prices. On my job in WI starting wage is $8.50 but in CA doing the exact same fuggin thing it was $24/hour. This is the actual reason they closed that call center because they could save about6 million a year in labor charges alone.

I'm glad I was in Internet Tech support before they moved me into that job. I got to keep my wage before moving in.

Raleigh, NC is considered the best city in America to live right now. The housing is affordable, teh cost of living is reasonable, and the jobs are plentiful. Come on over to NC and we can hang out sometime, maybe even do a little racing
