Don't know about cost but this might help you with what is legal in your area.

In Michigan, the law is any shade behind the b-pillars, any shade 4 inches down on the driver, passenger and windshield. Most police won't bother you for 20% or lighter on the front two. We're doing mine next weekend ( we have a tinter at our shop), I'm going with 20% all the way around except the windshield. Normally, we'd charge $219 for everything on an XJ, besides the windshield. Mine will be $75 at the employee rate.

If you're not too worried about it, I would do 20% on the back and 35% on the front doors.
