Anyone know a good window tinter in the NYC area?
 
I picked up my X5 last night and didn't realize that not even the rear glass has privacy tint to it. I felt like i was driving a fishbowl LOL.

Anyone here know a good window tinter - just looked for a clean job for 35% all the way around.

How much should this cost me ?

Not sure about a tinter (obviously), but I'd go 20% (medium) all the way around. It's very close to the BMW privacy glass tint.

well the oem bmw privacy glass is 35% in the back, If you really want 20% i would see local laws. Just another reason to get pulled over. Most members have 35% which is a nice medium between looks and being able to see at night.

I wouldnt pay more than $225 to get the entire car done. On the other side i have friends talking about getting their entire car done for $100 but the quality is horrible, Bubbles, hair between glass and tint, large gaps between end of window and tint. I went to my local dealership and asked them where they get there tints done on new cars. I got the number of the guy and he was a perfectionist.
