Need recommendation: window tinting shop?
Can anyone recommend a shop in Sacramento for window tinting? I want to have this done once and done right. Ideally, I also need a shop that's knowledgable about 50-state tint laws (I'm moving to NY in August).
Any suggestions are appreciated.

One Stop Auto Detail in Rancho. Contact Killian Maynard, he works there and they do a great job.
Got a good guy in Reno, but that doesn't really help you out

Of course, the laser shifters won't be on when the car is in CA, since that is illegal...

I highly recommend Kidwell's Glass on Hazel/Winding Way (near Mikuni/Hwy50). They put limo-black tint on my bugeye about a year ago and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. They did a great job at a good price and let me know how to take care of the tint so it wouldn't fade/bubble. I don't know if they have the ceramic or metallic tints mentioned above.
