If you're close to Brooklyn/Manhattan, check out www.theartoftint.com

He rents out space on 10th Ave during the week and works out of 212 Motoring in Brooklyn on Saturdays.
Tom is a super nice guy and great at what he does. Has a lot of high end clientle. I got 35% Solar Gard and it looks fantastic. He is also apparently the only certified installer of HuperOptic ceramic tint in the NY metro area. I know of several people that are very happy with his work and even one guy from Rhode Island that came down just for him to get his M6 done.

OR>>>>>>>>>>>>> If you're closer to Philly. Car PRETTY is real nice. Did my Maxima there. Sheets are precut via computer and it's much faster as well as a lifetime guarantee. NEVER had a problem with bubbles or redos. They well redo anything that happens except for cuts. There's another guy 2 blocks up also who use to work for him, but doesn't use the computer cuts. Takes longer and he gets his tint from CAR PRETTY. Northeast Philadelphia area. Get back to me for more info.

I live in NJ too.. just 2 days back I decided to drive 50miles Philadelphia and get 35% dyed charcoal all around at CAR PRETTY.. I love it!! So far no bubbles.. I am amazed by their work.

What % are you getting? Have you deicded on what type of tint (Ceramic or dyed) ?

Total for me : $170 ($180 - $10OFF coupon on their site www.carprettyautosalon.com) Lowest you will find anywhere!

No small tiny bubbles at all ? In that case that is good. Don't know if I will get Ceramic or Dyed....any feedback ? haven't research it yet. Thinking of getting 20% all around .....I have a black car.....I don't quite like the 20 back and 35 front difference! Has to be all the same....my .2 cents.

Yep, just get dyed charcoal, I dont have any Electronic probs, they say only AM might intefere.. but i havent touched AM since 5yrs lol.. Also CarPretty uses LLumar which has Lifetime gurantee on fading/color change or wotever.. even workman ship too. Also make sure to get the same % all-around that would look good!

The only question now is how ppl managing front window tints during inspections
