personally., get it done from a pro
if u do it urself, chances are u'll stuff it up and will prob cost u more to strip the tint u tried to put on plus to put on the proper tint done by the professional.
might as well get it done right first go

i have never heard a successful diy tinting job.

most ppl i spoken to dont even reccommend taking th old tint off yourself bcos it too easy to stuff up, if they stuff it they can fix it!

id say pay your $300 and get it done properly!

hope this helps.

this is one of those things that you really should just leave to a professional, coz if you stuff it up, thats it, the money's wasted. Get a pro to do it, its just easier that way lol

Pay the pros to do it. one its cheap enough and secondly if you get one spec of dust on it, it bubbles and looks like shit. Ive tired it ages ago and its not worth wasting your time.
