The place I was going to use doesn't have FormulaOne. They use 3M and SolarGard. Any feedback on those two brands?

Yes. Formulaone and Huper Optik are top brands.

Forget 3m if you have to choose from those two.

Thanks, S! The closest FormulaOne shop is well over an hour away. I'll definitely go with the SolarGard and not 3M.

Tom was a very nice guy. He took care doing the job and redid one window that he did not like when it was done. He was very competitively priced for ceramic tint and took pride in his work. His number is 212.869.5800 or 917.685.4792.

You can tell him that Brian with the blue X5 and the white Countryman recommended him.
Thanks. I know that place. It's on 25th and 10th, right? I go to the mechanic next door to them (Marty's) for inspection, oil, brakes..etc.)

I called them before, but I forgot to mention it. They told me $300 for a factory look (no tints for the driver or passenger). But they seem to be the best place. There's always a high end exotic cars parked there.

Will probably consider them. Thanks.

That is the place. They have the mural on the side of the building. I am happy with all the work they did for me.

I haven't looked because I can't roll down the windows for 3-5 days.
