    DIY window tint

    I am looking to tint my windows, but alas i am broke as usual. I found www.gilafilms.com/customcut/cchome.html who sell pre-cut window tint, this seems like a good idea ... but so does communism. Does anyone have success/horror stories with this company?

    In my opinion, unless you've done tinting yourself..then go for it. It would probably be best to go to a professional who offers Lifetime Warranty so that youre guaranteed a nice looking tint.

    yep if u want quality and warranty bubbles and fading stripping etc

    usually they give u five years some here in l.a. is even more.....

    see those tint with fades like purple smoke plus bubbles?... invest atleast 150 bucks for all around tint thres a lot of shop that has good rep just look and see how long they've been in business...

    also they have an actual shop where they tint ur car in their garage facility not the street sidewalk lol

    yea, tint is something id take to a professional. sure, DIY projects are fun but there are certain things that id rather leave to a professional..sure it costs more, but the work they do is much better than most people would be able to do..dont get me wrong, i love to work on my car, but tint is one of those things id leave to the pros

    just like these guys said, save up for it and take it to a shop, if u do it urself ur gonna regret it. We're not tryin to scare u but its not a type of mod that u can do absolute perfect. But i guess its ur decision!! Think about it and then decide what u want to do.

    Oh yeah if u choose to save, while ur saving up 4 it, shop around in ur area and get quotes for a good price. 8)
