Tint is pretty easy..I did it myself- front and rear door except rear windshield.
I used bluish silver(?) tone metallic tint which goes with my car(satin silver)
can't remeber the price ...but it was about 50bucks..
I heard titanium lasts longer than regular and metallic.


all you need is good razor blade and sqeegee.. and there are many web site shows "how-to"

i wouldnt recommend doing tint yourself... unless u have experience. Not worth the trouble it might cause... as well as cosmetic issues.

here....mine is a 5% visibility all around. It is F*cking inconvenient when you drive at night because you cant see sh*t, but it looks bad ass. Overall, i mos def wouldnt recommend this type of a tint. I always have to roll with my windows down in the nights. I think a 20% all around is the best compromise between visibility and appearance. Here are pics of mine.

Sorry... these pics werent taken Tint exclusive...





Tint is approx. 35% front, and 18% back... but it is the same tint, so it blends well... Titanium tint w/ lifetime warranty.

in cali you can have 35% in the front, which basically means nothing. I have 20% fronts, and 5% rears. At night you just have to roll down the windows and use the side mirrors to reverse and crap
