    Being that you are in the Atlanta area, in my opinion your prices are too low.  I don't know many reputable shops that will touch a 4 door car for under $200.  That being said I would check your area prices at the other shops and match up as close as you can.  I might be wrong but I think if you will call around to some of the shops you want to compete with or be compared to and you will find that you might be selling yourself short.  $80 for a windshield is crazy.  $20 for a front strip will end up pissing off your installer more than anything else.  Sunroof and Pano prices are also way to low. 
     
    No ceramic film options ??  I would at least have one upgrade film option or you will lose clientele to the shops that do. 
     
    You can usually have a general price list but are also going to have adjust for more difficult vehicles. Tinting a Camry and tinting a BMW or Audi for the same price is just not correct.  Difficulty of install affects the price of the job.  Not all windshields and rear glass will be easy to shrink and you have to adjust for this or lose money on the back end.  Trying to price by number of windows is going to bite you in arse in the long run.  Not all windows are the same size and there is different difficulty from front doors to back doors to stupid little triangle windows in the A-pillars and so on etc.  
     
    If you are supplying everything then you should probably consider a commission pay rate of some sort.  This person could still do other jobs at an hourly pay rate and still have a commission on tint jobs. Just can't see paying an hourly rate for tint because some jobs are going to take way longer than others.
