mike (ruskimafia has) but it still takes some skill to do it wether or not its precut. Ive tried it a few times, your better off not losing any money on wasted tint and calling around to a few shops.

Where you located?

everyone says it takes a few tries before you can get it done decently... i would/and did just shell out the money to get it done professional and it was well worth it

Just drop the 150 to get it done.

Lifetime warranty comes with the installs.
A shop that just does tint is where I went and that was a year and a half ago, no complaints.

Plus I cant stand it when cars have bubbles or half peelin ghetto looking tint.

Depends on your state, don't bother going lighter than 20%, if you can do 5%

Keep us posted :)
WTF WITH ALL THE HUGE SIGS??????

Don't buy the crappy tint stuff from ebay, have it done by a reputable shop for a decent price. They won't last long.

I got mines (20% all around except front windshield done for $110 USD.)
