Good tint shop in Queens?

Prissy · 05-05-2014, 03:38 PM

Hi, can someone recommend a good tint shop in Queens? I've read that a lot of E9X owners had to redo their tints because of the scratches. Some say it could be avoid by installing moleskin; others say it is really the tint material. So I am not sure... Any one? Thanks.

Joe at Tint Shop? I heard good stuff about that place... I'll prob give them a visit soon.

So ya I am worried about the dirt inside of the door panel, and the dot matrix in the rear window.

i believe Joe isn't around anymore (moved to NC). Steve, his partner, has taken over.

the business has moved to highline autobody in Auburndale, Queens. Steve did my front and rear bumper clear bra (custom by hand) and it came out flawlessly. you cant go wrong with him.

Haven't got my car tinted as yet but this is my first choice. I think I'll tackle the moleskin install myself for extra protection from dirt.

First because you have coral red interior it's amazing to have it exposed. I don't regret having my tints at all after I took them off. And second man where we live once they see you with tints it's an automatic pull over. I remember getting stop 4 times in one week FOUR smh just in one week for damn tints. And not only was the ticket for each window rather than the set but to me it's not worth it.

Ya coral red looks sick if they can see through the window, but tints will match better with the white exterior.

ahhh... Ya why there's so many cops around us? Is that why you removed ur tints? Seriously lots of cops are just pigs, like the past sunday, there was an accident under the LIE bridge on 108 which I drove passed by and saw a cop pulled over a car on 108 and 62nd, I used my finger and pointed the LIE direction to the cop and he thought I was giving him a finger and chased me all the way to my driveway. wtf! lol

Its 50/50 honestly lol but ever time I pass by your house all I see is the red in the back seats being exposed and its just a beautiful. I have no idea. I ask myself that all the time. Yeah that's definitely why I removed them it was not worth it at all. LOL haha thats funny/crazy.
