I am looking at potentially getting my 2001 corvette tinted (rear, and two side windows) in the next few months. How much should I expect to pay for some higher-end tint and labor costs? $150? $250?

I have heard of Hybrid tints and metallic tints, which are supposed to be the most durable materials currently on the market for window tinting?

Thanks for the help.

Is 'Lumar' considered top-of-the-line tint? In other words, tint that can last at least for 5 years or so, no fading or anything.

Lumar IS "top of the line" for GODS sake they got a Hydro..... If the tinter can do the back glass in 1 piece....pay.

The ATR line of the lumar film is "lifetime warranty"

So when I start calling around shops, should I be looking for ones that carry Lumar (top of the line) and can do the back window of my 'vette in one (1) piece?

My truck was done with Llumar on the back and both side windows, no sliding rear glass and it was one piece, looks incredibly good and cost me $125.
