just to let u know, i had my g35 go in nyc tint shop. The job was eh... I understand that it was hard to do the back because of the way the g35 was shaped but i still had bubbles all over the back of my back windshield. The guys were cool and all but i don't think they will be able to fix the back either way. There is also something up with the tint. I get a tremendous amount of glare when i drive at night. I have tints on my sc and it is a lot better than on the g35. I don't know if this is the tint or not but it is def a problem. The place where i would suggest is on northern blvd and right aroudn 195st or 196 st on flushing. You can't miss it. There are nice cars parked in front of the place for show. They charge around 200 for the job. They do it different than a lot of places do. What most tint shops do now is they just cut the tint to the shape of the window and stick it on. What this place does is they remove all the panels THEN they tint up the windows. This requires a lot more work and u can't see the edges of the tint unlike all the other shops. I had this done to my sc and i like it a lot. They cost more but I think it's worth the extra money. Just to give u guys a heads up, they usually take your car for 5 hours to get the work done. This was with no people ahead of me. They had it done sooner but they wanted to heat it up a few times to make it stick better. Only thing i regret is not getting darker tints. I got 20 percents.
