its sort of a bitch to do it your self. 1 mistake and the whole film is garbage. Get it done from someone. Some people manage to do the side windows but when the back window comes its a mess. That's what happened to me, if you haven't done it before don't do it your self.

First off i want to say i have never done it myself... but i am going to put my 2 cents in on this one. I have had a few friend that tryed to do it themselves and it was not all that easy. What i saw was it had to be precise. And if you dont do it almost perfect then it looks like crap. So my suggestion is unless you know someone that has done it before then i would recommend that you get it done.

In a word, No.
I agree w/everything already stated above.
Get a pro w/experience to do it and agood quality tint. You'll be much happier in the end.

tinting is an art. it takes alot of skill to do it properly and not have it bubble up. call around, find out whos been tinting the longest/whos got the most experience, check out some of their work if its around (some of these places have demo cars) and rest easy knowing that your covered by a lifetime warranty against bubbling and peeling (keep the receipt - only get the work done at a place that has a warranty for their work)

Patience is a full requirement here. I've already tried this & it's really consuming!

get someone else to do it. plus tinting that little window. that would be a pain and a half. if you dont know what your doing. pay someone the extra 150 to get it done as it may save you the headache in the longrun. plus after ther person does it for you. you are warrantied for the services that he performed tinting your windows.
