$450 is a great price as it is very challenging to tint these windows. I was quoted $2000 from one shop and ended up at $750 at another.

I got tint on my SX240 and love the way it works. I had 5% put on it. Normally not out in the evening or night so seeing not an issue. Either way I normally never look through the windshield. Always just over it if sitting down.

Has anyone tinted their windows on the outside? I have tinted windows in the past on trucks and it really isn't that hard, but the inside of the forward facing boat windshield seems like professional level. If I was tinting the outside it wouldn't be all that hard. I guess since its all "outside" at the end of the day it may not make any difference.
I called the local tint shop and they wanted $500, so even if I replaced it every few years I would still be money ahead.
