It may not be legal to drive with a front tinted window but the tinting place is not going to stop you from paying them to tint it after they tell you its not legal
Thank you. Do you know if the cops usually enforce it? Also do u have any recommendations for a good place?

Im not from lakewood but if you come to bk i can send you somewhere they do it.

If you get pulled over you stand the chance to get ticketed but off the fly I haven’t heard of people that got ticketed for it. For the side window dark tints you just need to roll down your windows if you get pulled over. As with everything illegal, you are doing something against the rules so just because they haven’t enforced it today doesn’t mean you wont get in trouble tomorrow

did u find someone? Or anyone else know?
Also, is it legal to tint the front windows? And are there places that do it anyway?
I see front windows tinted all the time but I thought it wasn't legal

Alarm on Board
917 804 32 ninety eight

Did a great job for me and others. Not always the cheapest, but it will done very precisely and won't bubble up. For 2 front windows on my SUV it cost $125, for a full Tesla tint (much more difficult) it cost $500.

I saw in evergreen last night in back of the store behind aisle 5.

They had a few brands. Looked like the price range was between $19/pound and $26/pound.

I took a pic. I can try to upload later.
thanks. I ran there but didn't recognize any of the brands. If you could post a picture so someone can vouch if they are any good

It's not legal, afaik.
Also, keep in mind that many accidents are due to not making eye contact with driver.

sounds very expensive. Either have Moshe Levy do it, or buy it in Costco and replace it yourself.
Thanks.
That's what we did.
Not that we didn't want Moshe Levy, just we wanted to try doing it ourselves.

Recommendation (or advice) for a company that does car window tinting?
I have a place in Elizabeth NJ that does an amazing job for less then half the price of the Jewish guys. (3 year warranty on the tint)
PM me for info.

The get a taste of redemption (fist box in the 1sr lt picture) had a lot of burnt matzah. Redemption, geula and elite matzah all in the first picture is from Ukraine, tastes great and also if stored properly will be fine for next year.

I had Lakewood, but I didn't have any of the others, so I can't compare.

I thought Lakewood this year was pretty good. It doesn't compare to the taste I've gotten used to from Satmar Broadway in past years, but it's pretty solid, and didn't have any major issues with burned matzo. Didn't have tons of Shleimim, but more than enough for my Yom Tov meals.

My batch of Lakewood from last year was pretty stale, and even putting in the oven didn't fully restore it. But it's possible it was just the way I stored it.

I believe he's saying last years run tasted the same as this years run. (Not that he had last years run this year)
