Any good tinting shopping near Princeton or ZIP 08520? Planning to do 35/20%.

My buddy has a real nice shop not too far away in PA. CAR OPTICS at Grant and the Boulevard in NE Philly. http://www.caroptics.com/ They do great work on all high end cars and really not that far for you, definitely worth the drive. If you live in Princeton, have you ever eaten at Elements Restaurant (sorry to change the subject)?

Tiint Shop Edison NJ. Route 1 near 287. On my new A7 I had 20 on rear and 60 on sides. Madico Wincos is highest quality (most protection) with lowest tint - meaning a 60 does not have a lot of tint, but filters out a lot. It does have a slight blue tint. They also have Charcool which is more grey... Ask for Lisa, Rich is the guy who does the work. They've been there a long time.

I also had XPel ultimate wrap on front bumper, lights, full hood and ClearPlex on windsheild. Took a several hits from a gravel truck on 287 going 80mph with very little damage - instead of a broken windshied.

Rented a car from Enterprise on route 27 in Edison for the day...

Good luck!

Dave

I used www.yelp.com for reviews of tinting places when I got my car tinted. Of course, you have to use your own judgment when reading the reviews. I usually ignore reviewers with only one review.

If you want to use high grade film then you might want to go with an authorized installer ....

NJ inspection will NOT fail you for tint anymore. All they test for is emissions and check your documents.

Getting a ticket is a different story. From my experience not many LEO's pulling people over for tints. Unless you have a rice burner or something like that.
