This helps alot, and is pretty decent tint. Still need a buddy to help ya, pretty tough to do it by yourself unless you do it daily.

I'm sure GW would charge about the same, if not $10 bucks more. Just drive up there Saturday morning and have it professionally done. That ebay shit ends up looking terrible.

I've seen it on three trucks. They would have been better off using black spray paint.

It's been a while, but $40 sounds about right. Could be $60 though.

$60 is well worth the pain it would be in your ass to buy the material and try to do it halfway right on your own.

there comes a point in your life...where the CHEAPEST way...is no longer the BEST way...

i think it is when your pay goes over some certain per hour rate, like say $20 per hour.

you have the money to pay for it, and you know it will take you
XX amount of hours to collect the tools,
XX amount of hours to fight with it,
XX hours to UNDO it.
XX hours to get around to carrying it somewhere to get it done right,

and cost you the same (or more) than it would have in the first place.


just go let someone do it, and it usually comes out better, faster, and you can do what you do well, and do it right because your time is not caught up in something else.

cheepest is NOT always bestest.



it's like toting your DD to cactus to let them muck it out. it may cost $20, and you might could it better, but that saves you a WHOLE saturday that you have to yourself now, to go racing or whatever you enjoy.

i will pay $20 to NOT have to wash cars on Saturday.

sorry, i was refering to the tint quality of the ebay people. he has had some bring in things like that for him to install and he says it is junk. you will only be looking at a few dollars more and alot less pain.

I just used Marty @ Diamond Glass Tinting. He comes to you (work, home, etc...) and installs the tint. Kevin (slowgreen73) referred him.

Sun Stoppers also does good work. I know of a couple of cars that they have done and it came out professional.

Will Marty climb through a roll cage? I would like the windows on the red car redone darker.
