Guys,
Could someone recommend a good window tinting place in NJ? Over the past 5 years I've been to at least 6 different places, including ones on Staten Island, in Brooklyn, Queens and what not, but I have always had issues with the tint. I'm not a bitchy customer at all, I just can't deal with bubbles (even the smallest ones), scratched tint at the time of installation, cheap material, etc.
Ideally, I'd find a place that uses 3M and does a really great job...
Anyone, please?

Thanks!

Top of the Line Tint in Lodi....talk to Phil, he is the owner. I just got my 5 done there. Tell him Raj with the blue 5 series sent you, he's a great guy and uses 3m tint exclusively. He has been tinting cars since 1988. FANTASTIC JOB and did my entire car for 300....they have done 5 of our cars throughout the years. Not a single bubble or problem

Thank you Raj! Exactly the answer I was looking for!

Isn't 20 asking for trouble where we live??? I've gotten pulled over only once and I paid a $50 ticket, but the darkest I've ever had was 35%...
On top of that I don't have a front license plate... the looks of my car may become expensive to maintain.

I used TOTL through Phil as well. Same price last year, I got 40% and they were kind enough to drop me at my office.
