i got bored yesterday after i got home from the shore. took the old silver shit tint off and put this stuff on. It occupied time and turned out okay i guess.

I havent done the bigger side windows yet. gotta figure out how to get he panels off and clean the adhesive stuff off of the right window.

The tint looks good...how dark did you go? Looks lower than 15% almost...might get some trouble with the piggies if it's too dark.

i need mine done again badly:(

King, its 20% according to the package, but it does look really dark to me too.

This stuff isnt bad at all, just very time consuming. And we'll have to see how long it lasts. Materials only were like $25 for the back and two corner windows. And itll probably be another $12 for the two side windows.

Not bad for $40 and a few hours of time.

it you put ammonia on the window and let it sit but dont let it dry all that stuff should come right off
havent done it but i have seen it done many times

congrats,looks good.when i got mine my back window was half off. i tried to do it myself but that back is a bit*h. i took it somewhere by my work and they did the back for 60. i think im gonna try and do my little quarter windows soon they are bubbled.what brand did u use? is it the stuff u can pick up from walmart?

I used the gila window tint. got it at autozone actually. the back window was really really hard and time consuming. the corner windows are really easy though. Im probably going to bang out the two side windows today i already have made a template and cut everything out.

To get the adhesive off the windows from the previous tint I used a clay bar along with windex. It wasn't too hard to get off.

always looks darker when its first put on until it cures to the glass

I updated the first post with pics after the side window. side windows arent that hard as long as your careful

looks like you did a good job. looks really nice and professional, on the little quarter windows did you overlap the black border or stop right inside it. i heard to use copper mesh to remove the old stuff that doesnt come off with a razor but seems like that would scratch up the glass

I did overlap them.

And like I said, I used a clay bar and Windex. I love clay bar its useful in so many situations.
