would it be better to do it yourself though or have a shop do it or is it something you can just pick up?

based on previous posts from you I wouldent even bother trying it yourself. And if for some odd reason you do attempt it yourself atleast get some film from a reputable company such as llumar, sun tek or 3M and stay away from the wal-mart and auto parts store tint.

Tinting requires patience, a steady hand, water mixed w/baby shampoo and a bunch of sharp razors. Did I mention it takes patience and ooohhhh almost forgot....SKILL

Ziebart has a lifetime warranty. Go there.

If you insist on trying it yourself, at least buy the precut tint from ebay for your vehicle. That way you dont have to cut it correctly, just apply it.

But, have it done professionally. It will take practice to get good at it (ever notice all the cars with bubbled out tint you see driving around?), so its better to have it done.

I tint all my own windows and every elses who needs them tinted. Honestly, its not very hard to tint. As long as you have sharp razors and some help.

Also, I would not even attempt tinting anything if it is sunny and hot outside. This is always the time when it is hardest for "me" to tint.

The easiest time I have ever had tinting was when it was cloudy and sprinkling(rain) outside. For some reason that tint just did perfectly in the rain. Probably just to get me wet.

i was also thinking about tinting my windows .. but ny has a law stating that legal % of tint is 70 .. which is FACTORY tints .. so anything lower than 70 is a possible ticket ..
