You have to measure the windows and see what size would look the best, by that i mean if you were driving down the street is it readable? also does the customer want the entire view obstructed? There are many things to consider, I would talk with them and try to get a feel for what they are looking for on this project. In the last 5 years in the sign business i have done many window/store fronts and everybody is different. As far as pricing the job, I always charge extra if i am doing the art work, if it is customer supplied time to vectorize it. Add in supplies with a markup some say 60% plus hourly for the install plus any misc supplies you might need for this project. I hope this answered your question, if not let me know and I'll try and break it down.
