    was wondering if anyone on here has had any experience with it and how hard it is to use and do it yourself, how it comes out, and how its holding up. the whole tinting windows things has popped back into my head but i just cant fathom paying 185 for it.

    I paid $200 and didn't think twice about it. Try saving yourself some money, do the back window, and then report back how much fun it was and how it looks.

    You'll be in even deeper then b/c you'll still need to go to a professional to fix it.

    I always like seeing the rednecks who tint their own 89 dodge minivans. Looks like purple bubble wrap.

    lol well yea dont plan on doing it in purple, but when you dont have a real job and get money from cutting grass, you wanna save as much as you can, even if it does mean stressing yourself out by tinting your windows on your own

    Look on ebay i got a pre cut set for my 2000 gp 4dr for $28 shipped i took my time and put it in with a install kit from autozone no bubbles no issues just take your time and do it in a garage or wind free place. Just a fyi if do it this way after doing the back window cut above each rear defrost line or it will bubble and look like sh*t. learned that the hard way on the gf`s car

    do you have any pictures of it? and i was also thinking maybe ill just do the sides and bring it somewhere to get the back done. my friend has an eclipse and just did the sides on his own and said he didnt do the back yet because it was too hard, i didnt get to actually look at his car tho i saw his windows were ttinted and was like oh thats cool and kept on going with what i had to do

    Definitely worth it since all the tint places around wanted $400 to do it. I had my jeep done by a shop and i cant tell a difference between there work and mine.
