Default To all NYC GS owners.. Need your opinion

I'm not sure if all of you have tinted your car but, do any of you recomend a place that does an excellent job and uses only one piece for the back window?

I did it on college point in flushing. It was a korean guy which took about 2hrs to do. That is the only place I trust after went thru 4 sets of tints. It was also 1 sheet thru on the back. I'll try to get you the address if you want to come down to queens flushing.

i go to a chinese guy on roosevelt and college point blvd behind the BP gas station. he did my HIDs also... see my signature banner. 8000K's pair for... $325? can't remember. i should do the fog lights too... hmm... anyways,

he hires some outside guy to do it and does a beautiful job. he recommended a 25/35 front/rear tint... i get pulled over... just about every 2 weeks? lol its CRAZY i tell you. i even got pulled over two nights in the row. good thing i know some people in the NYPD =)

yes i have one of those cards. heh. gluck with the tints! and watch out for those cops cuz they cracking down on tints cuz there's nothing better to do when some have to make a quota.

When it come to tints, make sure you go to someone that goes all the way up with it so that it looks factory If you look at my tints, there is no gap. Good luck with your choice.

do these places that tint your car for $100 use one piece for the rear? And go right to the edges of the window? That would cost $300 around here on the GS.

My guess is volume makes up up the difference in price.
