    Anyone have any experience with purchasing these? I've been wanting to tint my windows, but dont feel like shelling out $100+ to have a shop do it. And found a few eBay stores with the kits. Are they pretty spot on for window size?

    Honestly,
    I wouldnt suggest it, but did a reputable seller with good feedback if you do seriously want to do that. And it should be fine.

    i think if you find someone who has good feedback you shouldnt have an issue...just use alot of soap and water and it wont be too bad

    Cutting is the hardest part of tinting

    If you dont have to do that then its easy.

    Just make sure you do it right an use quality material. I've seen way to many people do it themselves and end up it looks like poop a month or two later.

    After thinking for a bit, my side rear windows have the stupid latch and what not on them, so i would have to pull the window to tint those... which would suck. Thinkin i may aswell suck it up, and take it in and have someone else do it.

    I paid $7.99 for my precut tint off of eBay for my truck. Cut perfect and was easy to install. Just need to be more careful with eBay tint because they aren't super high quality so you gotta make sure you don't crack it when installing. I've had no problems though, took me like 25min to install. Also I went this direction because I've been pulled over multiple times for tint so I got a bunch of the tint kits and have just pulled off the tint when I got a ticket and went home and put new tint on. But now I'm down to only 1 kit left :Grenade:
