Go on Ebay and order the pre cut tints. So much easier nad for only about 30 bucks. Used them on my truck and they went on with no prob. My GTP's next.

You can tint them yourself but it would be better to have someone at a tint shop do it. DIY tint never lasts and usually turns purple and bubbles. Pay $200 and have it done right by someone who knows what they are doing. That way if there are any problems you can go back to them.

Unless you are buying some really cheap tint it shouldn't turn purple. The only thing that will turn tint purple is using window cleaner with amonia in it. I've had my tint on my GP since 98 and it hasn't turned purple yet. Just stay away from the amonia based window cleaner. As for the air bubbles, just take your time putting it on. Start at the center of the windows and work your way out. And don't use the rear window defrost. It heats up the addhesive and causes it not to stick anymore giving you bubbles.
