I recently bought a 2013 Ford Fusion and I have been wanting to get my windows tinted but I really know nothing about modifications for cars so I was wondering if anyone here can tell me how I go about doing this and knowing that it won't bubble after a bit of time.

Also does anyone know about how much something like this usually costs?

This is my car. Just an ordinary Ford Fusion.

most place do a lifetime warranty on tint, any bubbling or something like that should be replaced. my brother got his done in a coupe
(OFC different for a sedan i believe) for 200. that was like 4 years ago, other than that ive gotten a quote for 140 for mine. go to your local automotive modification shop.

You should be able to find a place that will do it under $200 with a warranty.

she should take it to a professional lol.

also like others have said the most ive seen tint jobs go for is 200. make sure you get someone good. just because someone is a lot cheaper than another doesnt mean they are just as good. also you might want to check out a tint job from the place you choose one place around me has tint that has a slightly brown look to it. the guy i always go to always looks black (look from the inside of car to the outside)

and yeah after you get it done if you see air bubbles take it back. if they tell you they wont fix bad tint for free then dont let them tint your windows in the first place.

also you might want to check your local laws on the legal % of tint for your state. i always do mine in 5% which is illegal but i live in kentucky and they dont say anything to you unless youre being a douche asking for a ticket.

all good points, make sure its legal and make sure that if it bubbles you can get it fixed before you even let them do it. also take it to a shop lol. tinting windows sucks if you dont know what your doing. i had to tint the windows in my 85 monte carlo 5 times rofl

Do not do it yourself, lol. Take it to a tint shop. I had a shop do all four of mine for 120 with a lifetime warranty
