Hello, I was wondering if I should buy this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...spagenameZWDVW

What do you guys think about buying that and doing it my self instead of paying $200 to have pros do it?

I read the installation notes and it seemed really easy
1. Clean your windows
2. Spray water (with a touch of soap) onto the inside of your windows
3. Peel off the window tint pre-cut shape
4. Position the window tint pre-cut shape onto your window (With the adhesive side facing the glass)
5. Use a soft squeegee to pull out all the water between your window and window film. (Work out all the bubbles at this time if any appear)
6. The adhesive will dry within 24 hours

Alls I can say is good luck, I wouldn't have the patience or steady hands for that sort of thing

[Ninjawafers!]

if you do it, dont roll down your windows for 3 days... make sure that the tints have dried.. any pro will tell you to do this

[Ninjawafers!]

welcome to MM btw

i dono i would just have a shop do that kinda thing... its hard to keep all the bubbles out and keep it from creasing... like 3.8coastie said welcome to MM

I just had my windows tinted yesterday and it was worth the $175 to have someone else do it. It took 2 guys about an hour, which means that it would have taken me all day.

Just after I left the shop I pulled up behind someone with a back window that had enough air bubbles that it looked like bubblewrap.

Good luck if you do decide to do it but you can't beat a pro job on window tinting.

It does take about 3 days for the tint to fully dry. During the drying time the windows may look foggy or milky but that will clear up. Definitely put masking tape or something else across your window switches so you don't accidentally put your window down.

yeah when i got my windows tinted i def got it prof. done.. it only took 1 guy to do it in about an hour n' a half.. it cost $120 and it has a life time warrenty if it bubbles up or anything they will replace it for free.. also.. after you do it.. don't roll down your windows for a couple days or wash the inside of your windows... i'd go pro but that's just me

Well the link I posted said " Installation is a breeze because we do the hard part for you. This kit includes the precut pieces for all of your windows in" It also has a money back if youre not happy with it. I think it took those two guys an hour because the pros dont have precut pieces they cut it them selfs which is where the work and time is.

well i sat and watched the guy do my windows and it looks like it takes A LOT of patience and a very steady hand.. like it has to be perfectly lined up and smooth... i dunno bro.. i would def go pro on that one

I ordered a kit from that company and the tint sux !!! There version of 20% smoke ended up being kind of a gold color . plus they dont want to give me a refund for the crap tint

[Redline]

Well i was with my friend when his were done and they don't line it up perfectly they have a big sheet that takes up the window and then sum that they stick on then they cut off what hangs over the window.

It took the guys less than 30 seconds to cut the film to match a window. All they do is place the film against the window and trace with a razor blade. Very fast and easy. It took them about 12 minutes to squeegee each window and ensure there was no excess water or any bubbles. That is where the time and effort is.

i think if you are looking to do it yourself cuz it's cheaper then it's gonna look that way.. i think if you want to improve the look you should go pro.. not to mention on the (well on mine there is i dunno if your car has it too) rear window there is those paint dots at the top where the tint will more than likely not stick to... and it you'd have to cuz the tint to fit.. and if it starts peeling n' ish you're gonna end up paying more to do it over..

sure...

[jrhurst]

the tint that autozone sales is better than that stuff . I do most of my own tint work , cept for the back glass . I hate big back glass's with multiple curves , so i pay someone to do them . Good Luck dude

Mine doesn't have painted dots on the rear window nor have I ever seen one with painted dots lol. If I damage the film I can have them send another one for free because it has life time guaranty. I guess you guys haven't read through the link?

[jrhurst]

good luck with that , i doubt they will send you replacement just cuz u messed it up !!

[Juggalo_X]

i would let the pros do it cuz have you ever seen a car with home done tint after a year or so it looks like total shit and is all bubbled.
