240 isn't out of the question.
In fact its quite resonable.
Especially if its a good job.

what car????

the install price depends on the car a lot of the time

for example a levin and an integra.... a levin takes considerably less tint and time cos the back window is half the size

so 240 is prety good. bout what i paid from memory for my levin

i think super cheap still has them on special, $20 a roll, two will be plenty. Doing it yourself will take some time but you wont have to fork out an extra $200.

tints are easy az to put on, ive put sum on my m8s 323 wagon (yes a mazda..) an they came up mad az, only took me about 20minutes for 2 side windows (non-winding windows). it wuld take longer if u were doing windows that culd wind down and u wanted to do the whole window properly (taking the glass out). but yeh it isnt tht hard, just with the curves, cut the tint to shape, cruise round to River City Signs at 5 and ill do ya whole car for 50 bux hahaha. im a signwriter so i do tht sorta applicating stuff but its simple az.

Have done it myself a few times before, to fairly good results. Consider the usage of a hair dryer when applying. Aim it at the non sticky side, as it will heat up the glue without curing (drying) it too fast - glue will be more liquid therefore bubbles are easier to get out and less likely to form in the first place. But not too much heat else that will actually cause bubbles. Consider taking the glass out of the door... not as hard as it sounds, and you will get better results.
