Window Tinting NYC

[x1UP]

Hi guys,

This might have been asked before, but I was wondering if there was any places around NYC that you would recommend for a great window tint service for the BRZ?

I've been looking around, but I can't seem to trust anyone. One that would have a great turn around time in terms of getting it back in a matter of hours and etc.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Not sure what part of NYC you're in but if you want to make a trip to Rockland county (about 25 mins away from the GW bridge) there is a shop here called Sams window tinting and he does an awesome job. All his tints are life time warrantied and he offers 3M.

Check out The Tint Shop in Queens. They used to be in Great Neck and I paid 130 plus tax for 3M FX Premium with lifetime warranty against bubbles fading peeling and discoloration (had a coupon from their website).

Thanks a lot! Never knew this was so close to where I live. It's literally less than 10 minutes away. They seem pretty legit too. I've been hesitant on bringing my cars to other places because of faulty or not reliable shops.

This seems legit though. $130 for all windows?

It was the front sides, rear sides, and back. Windshield was extra and I chose not to do that (NY cops will be all over that).

Regular price is 150 I believe, still a good deal. Several of us here have used their services.

I went with 35% and I think it's perfect on my DGM. 25% if you want it darker. More than that, and you start inhibiting your nighttime vision.

Thanks for that. Do you mind sending any pics of 35% tint on your DGM? I think the limit is 30% and I kind of want to go 30% if 35% is too light.

Thanks for the help!

Check my garage pic to the left, there's also a tint thread in the cosmetic section that I contributed a sample to http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=649496

What state is your car registered in? NY tint can't be more than 75% or something stupid like that in the front sides. Cops usually won't hassle you unless you go really dark though.

My car's registered in NY, so the law is to let light in at 70%. Which means 30% is the legal limit. Or am I reading that wrong?

No that means 70% is the legal limit, considering stock our cars are about 75% I'd say you can't legally add any tint unless it is transparent.

Well, that's a bummer. Then there would be no reason for me to tint the car without it being tinted illegally and potentially attracting cops...

I got tints on my last car. I asked for 35%. When I got pulled over and ticketed it metered 21%.

I won't put tint on my BRZ

I was actually going to go put tints on my car today by the place that poster above mentioned, but since there is really no point in doing so without being illegally tinted....then maybe I won't do it anymore.

I think it just depends on your preference. I only pulled over once for tint in that car. car still has it, I just avoid rich neighborhoods where cops have more down time.

I have been pulled over I think 4 times in my BRZ and I'm quite glad I don't have tint ^_^ just something for them to add on the ticket if they feel like it

Correct. Taking stock tint into account, almost any amount of additional tint will be illegal in NY.
