But I'd rather have it done by the pros although I can do mine by myself. _____________________________ 2004 Ram 4.7 RC 4X4 (in reply to mfs212) Post #: 5

RE: window tinting - 5/16/2008 10:12:02 PM    hometheaterman Posts: 2563 Joined: 1/15/2005 Status: offline I agree. I've tried it a few times and never been super happy with how it turned out. It's kind of a pain. It's something some guys seem to be able to do but I just never got it to look like I wanted and would probably spend more in film than it would cost to pay someone. I like messing with it so still play around with it sometimes but it's never come out like I wanted. If you want it to look good I'd probably just pay someone. Oh btw a lot of the shops here still seem to offer the warranty even if you go darker than legal. _____________________________ 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Offroad Edition with the 360.
