Default window tint

hey guys i was thinking about tinting my windows.. but i didnt feel like paying around 180$ for them so i looked around on the internet and dfound this. http://www.snaptint.com/video-instructions.html its only 60 bucks and it comes prefit to your car... do u think this is a job that i can do or just suck it up and spend the 180 bones.?

Guarantee you'll not be happy with do-it-yourself window tint! It'll be 60 bucks wasted!

It looks decent and possibly wouldn't be that hard of a job to do. Would possibly get aggrevating to get the air bubbles out. Really helps since it is already precut for the car.

i say give it a try, its not that hard. most auto parts stores sell it in rolls for $10 (enough for one front window). do the the little windows first to get the feel for it, do the front next at by then you should feel comfortable enough to do the back. im getting ready to finish my fronts up soon myself.
ps 5% on the front windows is dangerous at night (you cant see anything beside you curbs, people, etc) you might want to go with 20% on the front and 5% on the other 3. just my opinion.
either way good luck

I did mine on my audi and the stang. I practice about 2 times on my buddy's dsm and then moved onto the audi and then the stang. The first time i did it, it was a mess. The second time i got better, less bubbles and lines. third time was just peachy and had to redo one window. the stang was f'n cake after the audi. So practice, practice and you will get it. then you can make alittle money on the side too. just get an awesome squeegy and razor. good luck!
