    I suggest you not to do it yourself. Get it done by professional. It will bubble if you did not do it the right way. Let pros do it because they are pro, and even if it bubbles, you have warrenty, they have to fix it for you.

    stick with black colored, 5%, 20%, 50% etc.
    i've seen yellow tint on a yellow mazda protege5... ugggggly!
    also seen blue and silver, both ugly as well.

    i used to do my own tint but not anymore. if you know what you're doing then its cool but if you don't - take it to the pros.
    my friend in buena park, CA told me it will cost him us$900 to tint a bmw (325 i think) wagon. does this sound right? he told me it's very expensive to tint in CA.

    i just had my sister's car tinted (04 accord), 7 windows including front for only C$200.

    No way it should cost that much to tint a car. Mine cost $180 with the windshield strip with a lifetime warranty.

    Man all of u r getting ripped off, my grandfather and uncle own their own tint shop and tint 4 doors all day for like $120-$140. And if I know you, then I can get it for like $90-$110 depending on 2 or 4 door and that is w/ your choice of tint--light through limo and lifetime warranty. So if ya'll need some tint, holla at your boy.
