Tinting my windows
I've decided on getting 5% all around and I need to find a reputable shop around Princeton.
I am by no means trying to save money (I want it done RIGHT). Anyone have any pleasurable experiences with shops around there??

If you come up North, Tri-State window tinting has a really good reputation.
Im going into the City for mine, super cheap, quick, and a good job. Many of my friends have gone to this one place in the City and they do an awsome job.

FYI, F-Bodies usually run around 150+ for all the windows. The hatch is the killer, and requires the most effort.

I got quoted for $190 from Tri-State, for 5% on the Hatch, and 20% on the sides, and that included removing the my old side tint (which I will be removing myself this weekend)

Remember though ... anything on the sides or front is illegal and you wont get through any state inspection stations. Cops in certain towns give hassle too about it .... specially this one town right next to me.... 
I had a shop around the corner from me (well, actually about 3 miles away but its really only one turn) do my back hatch with 5% limo tint for 80 bucks. PLace is called E+F auto glass on haddonfield road in pennsauken

Well if their tint work is anything like their stereo installs, it must be great work.
