How much? And btw the tint I have is pre-cut so I wont be doing any cutting, they won't use my tint so I have nothing to lose trying it. Also I know what the laws are, I've talked to a few people with 20% and they don't get bothered too often, I also was fortunate enough to get a PDA sticker from a trooper so I don't plan on getting harassed too much. If I can find someone to give my tints a shot I figure why not, if I don't like it I'll go get it professionally done for $140 then.

$140 is an excellent deal. Yes you will need moleskin, unless you want your **** to get messed up and spend money to fix it

Alright. Excellent deal or not, what is your guys opinion on applying a moleskin and giving mine a shot and if it sucks just take it off and have them do it?

i think with anything tint you let someone install it...it's better to have someone do it that KNOWS what they are doing than risk making your car look like crap

spent 200.00 on my tint job

That included 5% on all windows, 35% on the entire windshield, and a 5% top strip on the windshield.

It's awesome on a black car too. Everyone calls the car "Knight Rider".

A mail order precut kit huh? I mean it will be quick enough to see how it will look. Walk out there spray your window down with some soapy weter, and lay it on. Look to see how good the fit is and all that before you take any effort to make it look good. if it looks like it was actualy made for your glass, the cutting is what is most difficult about the job. The squgeeing out the boubles and stuff is just time consuming. If you cant send the tint back to where you got it, I would try it. If the fitment isnt good I would just throw it in the trash and chalk it up to lesson learned.

I am not sure about where you are located but here in Staten Island, New York where I live its $99 to tint any car, any shade, with a lifetime warranty
