    Is it worth having a pro do it or Is this something that works just as good done yourself?

    Im asking because its gonna cost me $250+ to get the car tinted, where as doing it myself will cost around $70 in materials and my time.
    im just wondering if anyone has a suggestion

    Professional all the way. I considered doing it myself but I'm glad I had a shop do it. I payed 225 and I'm satisfied.

    those $100 tint jobs are a joke. they dont use quality tint. i paid $270 for 15% all around the car and 5% on the windshield banner and sunroof. my tint is guaranteed for life.

    I did mine once it came out ok but it took me soo long. I got a lot of dust and wrinkles in the tint. After a few days it dried and then it looked like crap. I ripped all them off and it took longer to clean then it did to put on. i had mine done life time warranty FTW
