where do you live maybe someone can recommend a shop near you...

 

Ask around and ask for the name of the person that does the actual work.

 

If the tint is metallic based, and you have Navigation and/or Satellite radio, be prepared for interference. There are many non-metallic based tints out there choose wisely and ask the shop questions.

 

I forget the name of the place in NYC (Brooklyn I think), but people say it's the best place on the East coast. Some one help me out with the name here...

 

Authorized installers of V-Kool or Huper Optik brand tints are usually excellent installers b/c these are high end tints. Maybe call/e-mail those companies and ask them for local installers. They usually have other tints besides those brands but the installers are the same.

Hope this helps NY locals.. I haven't stopped by any of these places yet so I can't say if they're good or not.. but I'm definitely going to visit some of these shops in the future when I'm ready to tint.

 

what ever you do, don't use spray paint!

 

thanks for everyones help, by the way im in Fresno, CA. I did get it tinted but i should have gotten a 5% on the rear side windows and kept the back one 15% because anyone who has a G knows that it is really hard to get out at night in a crowded parking lot. So i decided a 15% all the way.
