http://www.tintdude.com/ Lots of info for do-it yourselfers. I got my d.i.y. tint about a month ago, haven't gotten around to it yet.


Peace

Ya, if you think about it, it's more trouble than it's worth. There are too many variables that might go wrong, have a pro do it. That's why my roll of tint is still on my table collecting dust.


Peace
