That's kind of difficult to Google... Can you provide a link or address or phone number? Thanks for the recommendation; my car needs tints as well.

Where did you end up going? I'm looking to get my car tinted as well, and front bumper clear bra'd as well.

I am trying out The Tint Shop in Flushing as mentioned above, on July 9th for Xpel on the bumper/hood/side skirts, plus 35% tint all around. If anyone is interested I'll report back on how it all came out

The Tint Shop

I went to The Tint Shop last Friday. I got 70% all around, ceramic on everything except the windshield, where I got the fancy stuff (whose name I'm blanking on, argh!). It hardly looks tinted but the heat rejection is fantastic.

I'm very happy with their service, the advice they gave, and the time they were willing to spend with me answering my newbie questions. Thumbs up all around.

Thanks for the suggestions and advice, everyone.

I'm glad it worked out for you, Steve is a good guy he's meticulous with his work its hard to find good quality service like this these days he pays attention to detail. The only other place I would go besides him is Detailing dynamics out in Long island another very good shop. a bit of a ride from here though.

Got the work done yesterday at The Tint Shop in Queens. Cost me $1,150 for Xpel Ultimate on my front an rear bumper, and side skirts; plus 35% Ceramic (don't remember the brand, wasn't 3M) tint on front/rear windows & rear windshield.

I'm very happy with all of the work. Not too dark to be begging for tickets, but still looks good. Also I did notice when I came back to the car today after work, it wasn't as hot inside (thanks to the ceramic).

Some before and after pics below, but my phone's camera blows.

Do you know how much it was just for the tints?

By any chance, was it more because you chose ceramic?

I believe it was $275 to have it tinted with Ceramic, and then $175 for non-ceramic. Could always call The Tint Shop up for a quote.

FYI I did have to schedule an appointment and the earliest day they had open was 2 weeks out.

Sorry, I suck at this forum thing; I was expecting a notification if someone replied to me...

I paid about $450 for 70% all around, their default ceramic on everything except the windshield, where I got their fancy ceramic. I was only asking about prices for the highest percentage, so I don't know whether it varies for darker tints.

Give them a call! They seemed happy to answer all my newbie questions.
