No experience with it, but if it's any count, that's one hell of a deal!

just make sure it is not the cheap tint that fades purple(even tho it says it wont). Real good tint like the 3M stuff and others have the color stable(this one states that it does) in it where IF it ever fades it gets a darker black. and is guaranteed not to crack, bubble peel, fade or anything. If it does it had the life time warranty on it and it is replaced for free. just really make sure you check their warranty policy. it is easy to install if you take your time and do it right

1sr picture: 3 months after i got it on
2nd picture: the way it sits now
3rd picture: 2 years after i got it on

on the inside it still looks like it did the day i bought it too, no bubbling, no cracking, no chips, no fad, perfect and you have to make sure to use window cleaner WITHOUT ammonia or you will damage the tint.

Quote: i wanted 50 front windows, and 35 the rear windows, i recieved[sic] the tint all wron[sic]
&

Quote: Buyer had the wrong address with paypal and the order came back - Unreasonable

Damn, that looks sharp, and not just the tint, dark lord of XJ's.

The stuff you can buy at the local parts house is junk! It will be hard to work with and will scratch easily. The ebay kit may be of better quality and be easier to install. I would rather pay to have my windows done, I don't have the nack.

Does it have to be a certain temp to install it? Is it better to do it when it is warm and sunny or cold and damp?

and make sure there is not dust.... most shops water their floors and do a thorough vacuum before installing because if dust gets in between the film and the window it will create little spots and bubbles
