wal-mart window tint
just wanted to know if anyone has used wal-mart window tint lol? and if so what % was it? possible pictures would be great to. for right now i just want to use it on my 3 back windows and my 2 xtended cab windows. with the laws up my way i can only do so much on the 2 front ones and i dont need to be pulled over. (had license almost half a year so fairly new) How hard is it to install this? i have no prior experience with this type of stuff so any tips or tricks for the tint to come out the best way would be great. I almost forgot to ask, how do you even put the tint on ? does it go inside the truck or out ? id think in but... anyways thanks for the help.

Do it yourself tint is pretty easy....ive done it myself on the back windows but i took it off before the glue stuff set ...
Just make sure you get all of the bubbles out...
I didnt have anything to get the bubbles out so i used a credit card wrapped in a paper towel.....got all of the bubbles out, and used a hair dryer to dry the window cleaner i sprayed on..

What ever you do, do NOT use any ammonia based product on the windows right before or anytime after you put it on. Ammonia has been proven to turn tint colors and fade it. Use soapy water to clean the inside of your windows from now on. I don't care what anyone tells you about this subject, ammonia WILL mess up tint!

The hardest part is cutting it to match the window.........at least it was for me.......I dont know how much time I spent trying to get the tint to fit the window. I did it on my last truck and it took for ever to do the back glass because it had to be exact, or it would show. I just took my ranger to have it done proffesionally, I didn't want to mess with that stuff again......I have a good bit of patients for most stuff, but what a pain.

I bought some and thought it would be the cheap and easy way to put it on but in the end it turned out to be the biggest hassle I have ever delt with for some reason Ford has that plastic piece that makes it hard to get to the window. If anything remove the entire door panel and good luck.

i bought the expensive kind at pep boys.. didnt want to take any chances.. which i think most people can agree with me on that one.. its the one with the clear film and you pull it off and its already sticky.. instead of having to literally slap some glue on your window.. im gonna do the fronts at 20% when it gets freakin warm enough.. i just walk right inside right now.. to wet and to freakin cold
