Question Tinted Windows on LI

Considering tinted windows, light tint to keep cooler. 2 questions:

Who on Long Island do you recommend?
Concern about doing back window, if in future I want to remove/refresh, what's impact on the rear window defroster, if any?

I'm a big fan of Huper Optik tints, and only 1 guy in the city is authorized to carry/install them. I've used him on 3 cars now, most recently my 997 about 1 week ago.

Tom will travel to you, tell him you got his # from Mike w/ the blue targa 4s.

Hey Mr Pink - some research I came up with: Huper Optik is ceramic based , optics are clearer, more resilient to fade, allows less UV into the car than other films. They have a 10 year warranty, while other film's websites have a 5 (such as Solarguard).

Anyone else have more/different info?


Ready for the next run?

I had Tom do my C2S with huper optik
Subtle look but definitely helps with the
heat. Have had the tints about 9 months
with no prblems
