    Tinted my windows

    So I got the windows tinted on my camaro and decided that tinted windows are the So I tinted the windows on my truck. They look pretty good. I used 20% GILA film from checkers. Honestly I don't think I like the GILA film, but oh well. I might end up ripping it off and take it to the guy that did my car. The camaro has 15% SunTek film. Great stuff. Anyway here is a pic of the truck.

    yeah I did it myself. Tinting windows is easy, the problem is you have to do it a few times to figure out the tricks. Each car is different. I would just have someone do it!

    it's cheaper to let a professional tint it.

    Agreed! The do-it yourself stuff is like 40, if you get it right first time. 80 if you don't. Most pro's will do 2 windows for ~75
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    $50 per window up to four or $25 after with lifetime warranty 3M film therefore I would NEVER do it myself.

    To each his own.
