Got mine done for $120. Just pay the money, it's easier and they will do a better job.

Tinting looks easy, but it is pretty hard to get good results.

I'd pay the cash and let it be someone else's headache.

damn, I was hoping that I dont have to.....

okay fine, the 2 shops I visited, one of them say they use sun something tint.... the other say they use something else

does brand matter? I don't want it to bubble up or fade after 2 years

If you goto ziebart they have a lifetime warranty

You might try the static cling stuff that you can get at walmart...... If your ultra cheap.. you can probably get your car done with 1 roll...

On my car itd take about 2ish rolls and by then id be halfway to a full tint profesionally.....
