Default tinting side windows

Ok i want my windows tinted EXTREMELY bad but i am very short on money. What I am wondering is how hard is it to tint my side windows myself?? I know i have to take off the door panel and all. I have also heard to let it sit for a few days. I have not tinted anything but my tails so kinda new to it. Do you think I can do it myself?? any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks guys!!

Why not all windows professionally tinted for under $250.00 w/ a warranty against bubbling, scratching included?

I HIGHLY suggest professional tint with high quality window film.

Most window film purchased from auto parts stores, comes in 20 inch strips, or smaller, while professional shops use HUGE sheets of film, that they custom cut to size. We have a LOT more glass than most cars do...........especially that back glass.

If you "piece" the strips together......it will separate and you will have unsightly lines.

Be patient, save your money, and get it done right the first time.

They do it in an hour.......it would take us all day.

^Agreeed

Just save your loot and get it done by a professional. Depending on where you live (i.e. florida) it can be pretty cheap to have it done...i was quoted 145 for everything.

Plus, if it ever starts bubbling up...you have someone to take it to because like musicheadt said, most shops offer lifetime warranties.
