NYC Owners Tinting help please

Any w204 owners in or near NYC? my dealer quoted me $600 to tint my C300 4Matic?!

I am also getting a quote for $450 by a "famous" tinter in NYC, using ceramic films.

Can anyone recommend a more reasonable tint shop in NYC? and about the tint %, will 35% get me tickets everyday?! what's the tint % you guys use and not get tickets?

Any suggestions are appreciated,

It sucks but if you really want to risk it by going further, I'd suggest you avoid driving on the roads towards the end of every month as those are the times when officers need to meet their quotas and they become rather ****.

thanks for the info, what % tint did you use? do you have a closeup pic on your tint? Mind sharing how much for the ceramic tint? or did you not use ceramic?

35% the tint is lumar-(not sure on spelling) I will see about a better pic, you would have to call him for a price but its Defintaly cheaper than that...
I would not use the dealer, the only markup the price from outside vendors...

I do plan to and probably through Rob. I'd like to wait for spring time as I'll have less to do. That white C300 could have been me on Northern as I do drive down that road pretty often but I did see a twin today. Some old lady but I rock it better. lol
