Default Window Tint?

I see some place online where I can order tint for my windows, but none of the kits have the windshield tint. Anyone know a place that sells tint for ALL windows?

They don`t make a piece that will cover the whole windshield.
And yes, it is a real PITA to tint windows. Better off paying a pro.

Don't tint shops usually just take the large scraps to form the windshield tint drop? You sure you want to tackle tinting your own ride?

Its a pretty bigPITA. I workwith vinyl everyday at a sign shop andwith all that experience Idon't think I would tackle a car.

lol After hearing what a PITA self-tinting is, I think I will just find someone to do it for me. Thanks or the heads up.

I did it myself. And it is a very crappy job. Just make sure you keep the window and the tint wet, so it can slide around easily. And the not rolling your windows up/down for a few days is VERY important. My girl rolled down and up the passenger side a few times and the top came unstuck slight, so I had to trim it down

put dishsoap in your spary bottle (just enough to make it bubble)use a lot of water.a heat gun (be careful) or hair dryer helps form & dry tint with the final squeegeeing) not that hard good luck

i spent $30 on 2 rolls of tint, did it myself and it came out perfect, it just takes time, what i used to get the water out was the rubber part from a window squeegee, heres some pics (those arent bubbles its just dried up water)
