I've installed tint myself, and although it looks good at first.... mine bubbled
I don't go through vehicles alot so i'd rather spend the money for a professional like TH to do the work.

On a window that just curves top to bottom, or a Suburban or PU...piece of cake....no problem.
looks like he is doing it on a subaru.
I just order a front set for my tahoe. for $13 shipped it's worth a shot! Lex, you can come test your hand on mine if you want when it comes in, then you will have an idea of what is going on. I'll just dive into it and see how it turns out.
Tried to do it a few times on my old jetta never got it looking right and no matter how hard I cleaned the window and took my time I would always get bubbles
I'm game Sniper! Maybe we can just set a time to meet up & let's wing it! I bought a tool kit too, because i realized that it didn't include tools for installation. Mine should be arriving before the weekend.
Yes, I am installing the tint on my Impreza Outback Sport wagon. I guess the rear glass will need to be shrunk afterward, but the rest should be g2g.
Shrink before to create the shape.Quote:

I then applied the film to the inside of the glass without the creases that would typically show.
alright, hopefully mine gets in soon. probably next week some time after the weather warms up. I'm sure it is better to do it in the warmer weather
