I did my tint myself. it is time consuming. I recommend buying the Rear Window tint for the rear window, otherwise it'd be hard to do it without bubbles. before you apply the tint you need to make sure the windows are very clean. dust will cause bubbles. I've spent 40 bucks on it, only cause I kept messing up. Get the black limo tints from Autozone. they wont turn purple. Just look at my profile pics. Can you tell that I did it myself. I've done it on my old car and my brother's car too, so I had a little experience already though.

there's a tinting solution you'll need too. or use water mixed with baby shampoo, and apply the tint with a squeezy to the window while the window is wet with your solution.
