Window tint

Can anyone recommend a good place to have my windows tinted (cheap). I might go to Car Tunes tomorrow on Rt 110 over in Amityville. They're asking $175 and offer a lifetime guarantee.
I tried a few other places, but they're either booked tomorrow or don't do Saturday's and give a limitted 5 yr warranty. The other places were asking $145.
BTW I'm trying to get this and my tune uo done in time for Chuck's party next weekend.

Adding further, more @#%$ into the topic....

At DPA (231 NORTH), they did a lineup of spot checks on every car going North on DPA.

I got sited and ticketed for having too dark of a tint on my car. $60 fine. They say 70+% is the law, I had under 12%. But, there were a few technicalities on the ticket, which I'm gonna contest in court.

Heh, just roll your windows down, and tell em they're broken when they want to put the tint meter on :)

WINDOW tint - what's the Limit??

I was about to get 20%; will this get me ticketed? Otherwise I will go to 35%; there's no inbetween.
OR, is the limit only on the door windows and not the side and rear?
 
Re: WINDOW tint - what's the Limit??

With my 10% tint, the police officer didn't see me give him the middle finger when I raised the glass, with the dome lights on. He was looking throught the window, too. The only reason why I did that, was because he left 3 errors on the ticket, which I'm gonna contest in court (My VIN, plates, and left the date of offense blank.)
 
Re: WINDOW tint - what's the Limit??

I was informed by a very polite NY State Trooper that stopped me in my 93 Mustang a few years ago and told me that driver and passenger side windows on 1992 and newer vehicles have to pass 70% of the light my Mustang has 20% tint on the sides and factory tinted glass so the meter said the they passed 17% he wrote me a ticket for window tint it's not a moving violation so I just paid it
P.S
My mustang has 5% on the back and rear side windows 20% on the sides a 35% strip on the top 6" of the windshield and 50% on the rest on the windshield cut out around the registration and inspection stickers
 
Re: WINDOW tint - what's the Limit??

So 'technically' since my XR7 is a '90 I'd be ok with the 20% all around. Do they require you to prove you did the work prior to '92? If not, then I could simply put 35% on the driver/passenger windows and 20% for the rest.

I know it's crazy but go ask a cop he would know hell Russ is a lawyer he can find out
