Cool DIY Tint?

Have many of you guys tinted your own windows? I was thinking about buying the precut tint... What sites would you recommend I buy quality tint from?

She has some pretty good tint on her now, but it's not dark enough and is scratched in places, so I'd like to peel it off and replace... will peeling it off make a mess or ruin my defrost traces?

As always, thanks!

Default Removal

Well I was thinking about spending 20-30 more dollars and getting it precut...

Will removing the old tint make a sticky mess and be more trouble than it's worth?

Tint is one thing I won't attempt to do myself. I would just bring it to a professional. It is easy to screw up.

I got my DIY tint here.. http://www.snaptint.com/car-tint-For...-complete.html

They have Mach 1 tint as well. They are real class act with super fast shipping.
I did the rear side windows in about 20 minutes. That was a good practice run,I gotta wait for it to warm back so I can do the front side windows.
