nicely done.. you cant even tell whether there's a tint or not unless u look close up. but the price u paid is wayyyyy too much imo.
I need to get a good distance shot as you most definitely tell it's tinted from far away. As for the price, yes it's expensive, but that's because of the film. I could have gotten metalized for $150 which is a pretty standard price, but chose to get the ceramic for purposes of heat rejection. Ceramic costs more.... hell a year or two ago it was about $500 to get ceramic tint done.

There are lots of different kinds of tint... different composition, different number of layers, etc. Metalized films are the most commonly used and are the least expensive. If you live in a larger urban area than I do that might be why it's cheaper for you, however in this area $150 for A-post back is pretty good. I spent more on the ceramic because it has 80% heat rejection vs. 50% on the metalized film.
