Not bad, if I had the $$ I would definitely consider something like that.

Yeah, that'* cheap...but tinting isn't easy. Getting it done professionally is the way to achieve best results. I coughed up $240 to get my 97 done and I loved the tint.

Those pre-cut kits have been available on eBay for quite some time now. Word of warning, cutting is only 25% of the game. Prep and application are the other parts that REALLY count.

Moving to Detailing and Appearance......

What would you think about buying the kit and getting a pro to install it? I guess it comes down to the labor vs. materials...
Do you think there'd be any advantage to doing it that way?
