If I did it when I was 16 and didn't have any bubbles, any fricking idiot can do it. Take your time and do it right.

But, I mean, come on. It's not that damned expensive to get it done. Save yourself the time, energy, and effort....let a pro do it.

It's not that easy, but if you do attempt it, use lots of liquid. Like, soak the window and tint before putting the two together.

If you can take out your windows, it won't be so bad

It's really not too difficult to do. The key is using a heat gun on the glass side to shrink the film on the concave areas.

You trying to go illegal?
If so you can actually save money by paying cash to one of the tint guys on the side.

It's really not THAT bad. I've done it a few times, but it didn't come out worth a shite until the 3rd time. Precut helps a bunch.

I'm not going to pay hundreds of dollars if I can do it myself. Youtube makes it look simple, plus Camaro windows (I have a 2001 Z28) look super easy.
