Dont do it yourself, you need skills.

$200-$300 seems a little pricey. I would shop around to see if you can find something better. I paid $135

And maybe type a little slower Hard to read your post

I agree with B-more, def shop around.Over here u could get it done for like 100 and i think for an extra 50 they'd take it off for you when u'd need to get an inspection done and/or a "fix-it" ticket and then they'll put it back on again when u come back, all covered.

200/300 seems a lil pricey to me.

On a side note, i just wanted to ask you Bravey, where'd u get your Nismo floor mats, a "site" or did the stealership throw it in for you, and are they good? price?

Thankz, im lookin for different floor mats, am thinking either Universal/heavy duty ones for dirt/mud/grime that finds its way into my car or mebbe just something different like nismo.

Personally...I am going to give it a try myself...

To me, people say it is tough...but how do you learn without trying? I got a set of tints for a real decent price on ebay and they seem real quality and I want to learn how to do it so I am going to give it a try.

Will it be easy? No...

Will I take my time and get it right? I will try...

But will I be happier because I did it myself? Hell yea, there is nothing like that pride of a self completed job.

Curtieson, i give you balls for trying... and i hate to do it... but id bet on a massive fail!

Sit in your back seat and see if you can even move around in there... what kind of tools are you planning on using?

There was another member who let his brother try and put tint on, and he melted the top of his door... the physical material used for the interior window tint is the cheap part... its the labor that costs....

Also if you bought something off ebay, better check the manufacturer, did they even say? Itd suck if you actually DID get it right, and had to take it off in a year because it yellowed or deteriorated...
