Review: Great tint, dark, not complicated - The tint: 5% is pretty darn dark. In the day, no problem seeing out, and not much light comes in. Didn't notice much of a difference as far as heat blocking goes, but heat's only an issue in the summer. At night, it can present a small challenge on the darkest roads, but otherwise, I didn't have a problem. It's like wearing sunglasses, at night, on your side windows. Don't know how to apply tint to a window, hoping someone will give some instruction? Willing to trust a stranger's way to do it, even tho I'm saying I may or more likely don't do it properly? The way I did it, and I'm certifiably not a pro at this, take the side glass out, even the pocket windows. Slight bit more of work but well worth it in the end. Once out, clean both sides of the window thoroughly and dry thoroughly. I'm lazy to an extent, so I bought the solution they offer. It's just baby shampoo and distilled water. But so easy to just buy it :) and one spray bottle will last for two 4-door vehicles' glass, no problem. Spray that stuff liberally all over the inside facing glass, and then place the sheet of tint, that you previously measured and trimmed exactly and just peeled the clear film from, sticky side down. Use a squeegee or something hard plastic without sharp edges to smooth from center out, pushing out the spray bottle juice. Once this is done, I used a razor to trim about 1/32" of the tint back from actual top of the window. Reason - so it won't have as much stress and rubbing on the window jamb from where and when it rolls up. Place the window, tint side up, out in the direct sunlight for a good 30-45 minutes. Past 45 minutes in the sun, and it should definitely be all dried. Reinstall your window, roll it up and leave it up for at least 24 hours, if you can. I'd definitely go at least 12-16 hours without rolling them down. Let the tint set. Bam. You just tinted your windows.
Review: Great look! - First things first, if you DIY then be sure to watch some videos on the net to see the tips and tricks from the Pro's. I can't stress it enough, I fumbled through the first roll before calling my dad and haveing to go to the local car shop to get another roll. I do have to say, price was compareable to desertcart. As for installation, thats not to be complained about here... Every roll of DIY tinting is exactly the same size, and same applications. As for the product itself... This tint is the 3rd out of the normal 3 sold. There are lighter and less dark, but for the three main sold, this is the middle. Its more of a smoke than a dark smoke. Its def is not the darkest out there. For most states that make it illigal to install in the front side windows, the cops may have to think a bit about it, or go get their do-dad that measures it. As for now, this is right in between no tint and my factory tinting in the back, perfectly what I wanted. Its hard to explain, and I hope it helps. So, be sure to watch the vids. Get a squegee, or a credit card. And a bottle with a ton of water and a bit of dawn, The tools suck, but water and dawn make up for it. Seriously, you cant hurt the film, unless you dont spray BOTH sides with water Dawn mix!. Dureing the process, dont be shy, the more you use, the better it will look. This kit will do 2 side windows, thats it... maybe a small back window, but if you have a car, then get the back window kit, it comes in strips of longer material thats designed to be in the back, and in layers, not one big piece... but if you have a pickup or similar with a small window(s), this one may do the trick. Good luck! One year later (Dec of 12) There are no bubbles, no tearing from the window going up and down. I found a hair in there the other day, but thats my fault. Who have written it doesn't last must not have installed it right.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works, but is tricky to install
*by L***H on November 23, 2008*

This stuff does work very well to keep heat and light down in your car (or other window). However you should be aware that it is very difficult to install on any window that is curved. It is almost impossible to get all the bubbles out of it and it will crease - guaranteed. Maybe i just don't know the tricks that pros use to install this, but i got it working pretty well on my rear windows (Nissan Sentra) but the rear windsheld was much more curved and unless i am missing something, there is no good way to make a flat surface curved without either cutting it or creasing it. It still works fine - so if you want to do it yourself and don't care too much about how it looks then go right ahead. FYI - Small windows are a bit of a pain too as it moves when you try to trim the edges if the piece is too small. - Recommended for medium sized flat windows. - Not Recommended for curved windows, small windows, or large windows (difficult to piece two sheets together). ********** UPDATE 11/11/11 ********************* Giving one star back as it came to my attention that you can heat shrink curved surfaces. I don't remember anything in the instructions mentioning this (which would have been helpful), but that would have helped a lot. On another note The tint is still holding strong to my car windows (over 3 years later). My installation job doesn't look great, but is still helping keep the car cooler.
