Inspection Shop in NY that will pass with tints

I have gone to two shops and failed my NYS inspection due to tints. Has anyone passed inspection this year with tints? If anyone knows a shop that will pass me I'd appreciate it.

Your better off just ripping them off and putting them back on the only way you'll get away with it if it's a shop that knows you this new tint law is beyond annoying

Usually The Gas Stations That Also Do Inspections Dont Care About Tints At All. You Have To Pay The Like 43dollars It Costs.

I agree. Between my test pipes and this damm tint it is becoming a huge pain in the ASS and I dread the next actual inspection...

What's the story with the inspection camera? A friend is insisting there is a 0% chance to pass because the camera is recording the window check, but I don't know if this is accurate?

They are made to milk us out of hard earned money my friend

I believe they made it after a cop got shot by a guy in a car with tinted windows. The cop couldn't tell he had the gun because of the tints.

Does anyone know a place in Astoria or close? I'm up in June and my friend got duped into dropping $150 Saturday in LI. They said his wipers were bad $50 then some other nonsense charges $150 all in for inspection.
Thanks
