Buy the precut tint off ebay. Its cheap and easy, Then get there window tint kit i believe they tell you instructions too, and 2 peoples always nice. Have one hold the tint up while you spray it with the spray bottle and soap and peel the film back. Spraying the tint keeps it from cracking and its doesnt go bad if u mislay it on the window. Easier to get all the bubbles out too. Hope it helped.

Have it done and then you'll have a warranty in case it starts to bubble. Remember to NEVER use Windex or any other kind of glass cleaner with ammonia in it, the ammonia will destroy the adhesive and turn the tint purple.

I did the ebay pre-cut tint on my xj...it was extremely easy and its been about a year and has not changed colors or bubbled at all...gonna do it on my zj here soon also.

Paying someone to do it is best...but its way expensive...and i wanted my tint 5% all around and no professional will do it being its illegal.

Really dark, but i love them

Ya no problem...just an fyi...if your planning on going with 5%, it is a pain in the *** to see at night...so you may have to drive with ur window down sometimes.
