I placed an order with these people on Saturday and received the tint today. It came rolled up in a tube that is very sturdy with packing peanuts in the center. I ordered the precut kit for all my windows except the windshield. 35% all around. It carries a lifetime warranty against cracking, peeling, or turning purple and came with instructions.I am going to wait until this weekend to do this project. I will say then how it went. And post new pictures of course. Vance

50 bucks says if you have never tinted a window before you just waisted your money. I have been tinting windows for about 10+ years on all my family cars and to this day it's still a

Sorry to agree with Keith, but patience is of the essence.Get that tint flattened out as you wait for the weekend. Having that tint film roll back up like a poster with the backing off is the end of your day.Good luck! Take your time. I would know.

It was $290 to get my vibe tinted here in Oregon, regardless of % so I guess I can see why you would give it a shot. Hope it works for ya.

i don't know about the quality of the snaptint but i doubt it'll block out a lot of heat...maybe it's only for looks than really block out heat. i would definitely pay a shop for quality tint and actually block heat.

Good luck with the install and be sure to post before and after pics.

Well, It is a royal pain in the (removed). I really screwed up the passenger front window by applying too much pressure while squeegeeing it and tore it at the bottom. So I removed it. The rear is a compound curve and requires you to go through a special process to use a heat gun to shrink the film to fit the curve. I didn't remember that step and tried to install it with out doing that heat shrinking. It came out looking so bad I removed it also. The rest of the windows were a breeze compared that they came out looking good. I will take picture when I get those other two pieces replaced. What a pain to remove the inside panels of the door just to get that bottom piece of weather stripping off.Fortunately for me, http://www.snaptint.com has a reduced cost replacement policy. $9.99 for each piece you need to replace because of an accident during installation.
