Thats insane. Look elsewhere
Should be able to get a mustang done for $200, ceramic a little more.

I went with the one that was ceramic vs metallic. Costs more but I figure it’s worth it being comfortable and apparently doesn’t mess with cell signal like metallic and don’t really “plan” on getting rid of my cars.
Not anymore on the ceramic they are on that covid new pricing but getting the windows tinted for under $250 should not be a problem.
I know 2 guys who own tint shops and have known both over 20yrs. Both have said ceramic is only worth it if you’re going to keep that car at least 5yrs. They both carry it but don’t try to push it on customers.
It does block UV more and keeps the inside of the car cooler, i can attest to that on both mine. I wouldn't pay over $300 for a full ceramic job.
Exactly why i did it on both, i'm a cheap bastard and want to keep my stuff as long as possible.
My tint guy didn’t push it on me either and I paid $230 no tax for S550. He said he only sells it when a customer asks for it but not necessary and not worth it.
I'll have the car likely far more than 5 years. I barely drive the car, and it's rarely parked outside for long.
My hawk came with limo tint which is 5% holy mother of god is it dark and trying to back it in to the driveway was a mission. I had the doors removed and re done with 20%.
By the way now that I think of it I paid $230 cash for the mustang and had the whole windshield done so basically the whole car and came with a lifetime warranty.
I think 15-20% is the right amount for most people. Those prices seem wildly expensive and it sounds like I’d skip the ceramic. Get whatever has a “lifetime” warranty.
I usually just do 20% all around no windshield. There aren’t a lot of street lights around so it’s about as dark as I like at night and usually matches factory tint (though usually cars don’t have that)
