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...

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.

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.

and cause a trooper told me so.
