    I got rear door and rear quarter window pre-cut window tint. 20% tint. Was $10, shipped.

    Wow, good job to leave to the pro's. I'll look at it after a couple days to see if I'm going to pull it and let a shop do it.

    But, I will say, silver with rear 20% tint looks good.

    I did'nt even think about doing it myself. It cost me 179 CAN$ and I find it pretty nice. And it is guaranteed as long as I own the car.

    I admire you for having the stones to try anyway. I think I'll just have mine done by a good tint shop, I know I'd screw it up.

    it was worth the $10 to try. I'll take a picture, from at least 20 feet. I've done it on a few other cars in the past, but wow, this was a bad job. Maybe I'll go buy a small roll and try again. I'm taking tomorrow, I might have time to try again.

    The quarter lights came out good. I think I'll try warming it up with a hair dryer this time to make it a bit more pliable. who knows, maybe I'll just make a couple calls and peel it all off.
