If you want to go with a nicer tint and willing to make a trip to Middletown... JamesTint is an awesome certified installer of Huper Optiks tint. They normally go for $350-$400, but if you go there... say you're from this forum, he can do it for $250 cash. Many people on this forum have gotten their car done there. Great heat reduction and great clarity.

oh ok, i have no idea where middletown is, lol but i actually went to Best Tire Car Audio in Great Neck LI and thats where they gave me the 230 price. i wanted to go to a legit spot, not any ol car store you know? we all love our cars too much to just put it in the hands of a starnger who we dont really trust too much. but ill check out the place u suggested thanks.

Well that's 3,300 miles away. I'm sure when he has 8 days off he'll make the drive haha.

For $230 they better buy you dinner too.

I wouldn't pay a cent over $200 unless it was from a place that only does Tint and is known for tint. But shoot it's only tint man.

Try for $180.

Make sure you ask them about how they will handle the matrix dots on the side windows and top of the glass. A good tinting place should be able to make these areas stick so you don't get a border of white around your tint. If they say anything about vinyl, walk out the door because that isn't an option IMO, looks like ****.

What should they do and could you elabroate? My buddy works at an Infiniti dealer so I was gonna take it there. I figure they should know about this, but then again it's a dealership.
