Do you think there'd be any advantage to doing it that way?

Might cost more that way cuz the tint places get it way cheaper then that.

definitely looks like a good option for some people, but like Wren said, cutting is not the hardest part by far.
I would have a professional do mine no matter what. Its the cleaning, prep and application that is the most troublesome and technically challenging

I got the snap tint tints a while back.. with the DIY kit.
You will defenately need an extra pair of hands. And you will need a roller tool to be able to do the back windshield.
its tough, and you need a non windy day if you dont have an enclosed area to prep and install.. like me.
I thought it was going to be easy, im going to a pro, to do my GA and i will have them put the back windshield on the bonnie.
btw i got the 25% (or 35% i forgot) front and 5% back.
