My best guess would be around $100 - $150. Getting an average sedan done is $200 $250 around here.

Prices will vary. I paid $100 to have the two front windows and a windshield strip on my JKU.

I just paid to have my new to me 2011 hardtop replacement tinted and it was 120.00 total. Each piece of tint was computer cut from a cad program perfect match to my jeep top. Had 15% tint installed to match my factory dark tinted doors. Perfect match.

Don't know if you've ever tinted anything, but the hard top on a JK is probably the best example of a window that's super easy to tint, as they are almost flat. I'd give it a shot, if you've ever done a window at all, with decent results. If you have no idea how to do it, then I wouldn't attempt it.

if anybody charges you over 100 to tint the back hard top then keep looking. my g37 coupe cost me 100 for all 5 windows which were very hard to do. the jeep is a bunch of flat, squared windows so my local shops quoted me 125-150 for all 7 windows and windshield strip. maybe the reason for my low quotes are because window tinting places are a dime a dozen up by me.
