Hola !! I have a brand new 06 Scion tC in black cherry pearl.... i love my baby, but I am considering getting the windows tinted, not too dark though... does anyone have any suggestions and spots where I can get this done perfectly.

Thanks

 

Seems to be a regional thing for the NYC.

 

any tint in NYC = tickets!!!

 

depends on where in nyc you are... if you are near the bronx at all, there are a few places off fordham road near the university that are reasonable and offer lifetime warranty... in queens try queens blvd, but places near queens center mall are really expensive and all the places in corona and jackson heights on northern blvd make you wait HOURS to get it done.

Tickets for tint are not as common as ppl think...

 

there is a place in the bx, lorenzos i think?? there very good...but if u wanna travel a bit up to dobbsferry, theres a place that does a real good job...i got mine done there and its perfect...

 

Every single one of my friends in NYC that has tint has gotten multiple tickets for it.

 

i have had 20% or darker on 3 cars, so has my wife and as many times as we have both been pulled over... not one for tint... its either luck or the individuals attitude to the police...

 

2 of my friends have had tints on their cars, one had limo tints on a gs300 with 20 inch wheels, he got 12 tickets in 1 year. but they were all from the same cop, cops dont seem to like bling. my other friend had mirror tints on his stock bmw 328 and he got 4 tickets in 3 years.

 

im in NY, i have 35%, its fine. 35% is legal.

 

aight thanks for the info.... i live in Harlem so the Bx is closest...
in my opinion regarding cops and cars with tints they wont bother you unless you are driving recklessly and causing suspicion.

 

yea. just drive like every other car on the road, and your chances of gettin pulled get a lot slimmer

 

thats according to NYS law, NYC law is different.
NYC cops will pull you over for ANY reason you give them.

 

oh really?? so i can get pulled for my 35% tints on long island and in the city?????

 

not if your car is registered upstate!

 

dam it. its not

 

NY STATE law is 70%, not 35%, rimjay2

Oh, and because someone will question it, I'm sure:

and cause a trooper told me so.

 

35% of light has to shine through the glass...

 

no, 72%, actually.

 

AND, it's net, not just film, so you're basically allowed no tint on the windows of a car.

 

lol so any and everyone with tints in NY are going to get tickets? then why do some cars come tinted from the dealer?
