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

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's only like $150 to tint here. I would have shelled the cash.

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.
