From my limited experience there is a large variance in quality of tint jobs, mostly the installation, not the material. I had my SVT done by a mobil guy for $180 and I was not pleased with the job. Everything turned out fine, but I can't say i'll be going back for future vehicles.
There is a place called SunShade in Troy, on Maple (15 Mile) and Thurderbird Lane, West of Livernois. I had my wife's truck windows doen there, which was an easy job, but I have seen others. A friend not on here had his Contour done there for $225 back in 97 or 98, then sold that car. The few times I have been in there, he is working on mostly upscale cars. Now those people have more money than most Contour owners to pay more for tint, but may times these people are meticulous with the quality and they trust him.
Anyway, I have seen good tint, bad tint, and average the price seems to correlate.
