Would you guys recommend a noob to try to tint his own windows?
Any "how-to" write ups?

ANY ADVICE?

I'm pretty sure there's a write-up on here (or a link to)

mine turned out pretty good...., the hatch is an absolute b---- to get right, i did it in three horizontal strips and didn't try to cover the little dots at the top (just asking for trouble!)

if i were to do it again i'd at least take the side windows out first!

I'd recommend getting it professionally done, its not that expensive.

agreed, i havent tinted mine yet because im waiting to have them spray tinted no more worrying about scraps or marks in the tint

Hey Guys,
I thought i would chime in here since i have been in the tint business for the past six years. First i would NOT recomend taking your window out to tint it. Second if you are planning on getting it to look good i would tell you to go to someone who know what there doing on that back window so it is done in ONE peice. I have seen a lot of Butchered home jobs in my time, Just spend a few dollars and get someone who carrys Llumar or Formula One Window Film, both are made by CP Films and are Very high Quality Products.
If you really do want to do it your self i can offer some tips for you, also we do have a computer program that will cut the window pattern for you if you want i can probably sell you the precut pattern.

So...... How much are you willing to sell the pre-cut windows for. Please let us know. I can do the side windows but would like a one piece for the back pre-cut otherwise I'll take it in to the pro. Thx

if ur going to get the rear tinted by pro's make sure they dont take off ur rear spoiler... for some reason they took my spoiler off and supposedly there was a loose chip in it and they lost it so i got a nice chunk missing... just a heads up but only crap like that happens to me ahaha

Ok I could probably get you guys the pre cut kit for about $60 us + Shipping ( 2 Front doors And Backglass). I might be able to come down on that a little once i talk to my Boss but it would only be like 5 or 10 bucks.
HOODZ - I dont know where you took your car but a QUALITY shop should NOT talk anything apart to do the window tinting. I am baffled at how many shops are still stuck in the 80's as far as there tinting habits.
Just let me know if you guys are interested, hope i can help a few of you guys out

i would strongly advice letting the professionals do it. dont want to have it bubble or have it peal off while driving too fast

LOL If you had your tint bubble and peel because you drove to fast you would have a serios problem. The tint goes on the inside of the glass so speed would never affect your tint.
If you are interested in doing this your self let me know and i can give detailed instructions on how to complete a decent home tint job as i said in my earlier post i run a window tint shop. I have no problem helping someone if they want to try, with a little patience and being halfway competent you CAN do this
