NJ Window Tint in Central Jersey question

i'm thinking about getting my windows tinted, i live in manville nj, and am just wondering a few things, i usually do all my own work, redid my headliner in suede, installed a metra kit, etc, but i'm thinking about having someone do this cause i'm afraid i'm gonna mess it up, anyway, what places around the area are decent, and secondly if i get the front windows done, how much do you think the cops would mess with me, considering i don't speed all the time, anyway thanks for any input

I recomend:

Auto Image
6 Frelinghuysen Ave.
Raritan, NJ 08869
908-218-9757

Its right off the Somerville Circle, I got the windows done on my 8 there.... actually all of the windows I have ever got tinted was from them... they do a great job and are reasonably priced

To answer your second question: it depends on how dark you get them done... from my professional opinion I wouldn't go darker than 15% on the front... and it also depends on the cops in your area.

I would go with Auto Image on RT 1 in Edison. I would also ante up on the 3M film. Has lifetime warranty on if it discolors or bubbles versus the generic tint (1 year warranty). Also the fronts......IMO I wouldn't go darker than 35% on the fronts. Flashy sports car + dark tinted windows = your just asking to get pulled over. I would also look into a private inspection place cuz if you go to reg DMV for inspection, you're going to get rejected just for the front tints alone.
