    not all tint are equal. hence, everyone can give you prices but its misleading. you can get super cheapo tint that is color unstable, will color shift, bubble, turn purple, etc. You have to compare apples to bananas. ;) And not all ceramic are true ceramic.

    so c$700 might be reasonable for top of the line huper optik with dealer's cut. huper is at least $400-500 in socal.

    Yes, I went SD window tint in El cajon, CA. Here is the link:

    SD Window Tint - Winter Gardens - El Cajon, CA

    And, yes that's the quote for all 10 windows. I opted for only 9.

    I think you do have make sure you are getting a good quality but dome of these prices seem crazy high. I got the above listed tint with a lifetime warranty. They did a GREAT job. Make sure you shop around. I got some ridiculous quotes as well :( People will take advantage of you, if you let them.

    Looking around today at prices, do people normally do the wind shield as well?

    By law in California your actually not allowed to have anything on the windshield or front windows at all...

    I know this is a PriusV section but, just had my GFs White Gen3 done - $150 - They did an excellent job.

    it's only a matter of getting caught ;)

    i don't think you'll get much grief if you tinted your windshield clear.

    I live in FL and I found a Groupon for a local tint shop I've used with past vehicles. It's costing me $159 for all side (including the small triangle in front of the side mirrors) and rear window. They also quoted me $25 to add on the front windshield brow. They use 3m computer cut tint.
