Its piss easy if you take your windows out.

I did a tester on a scrap piece of glass. Used a fine file on the edges once the tint was dry. Looked like a pro job :cool:

eye, its the darkest you can have legally at the front and limo black on the back. Does look cool. Didnt want it to look completey black all over, ends up lookin like a black blob!
