Looks good! Im glad I was able to help. The directions said not to use soap or whatever for installation so I bought the slip fluid stuff from walmart with the squeegee, razor, low lint cloth and dvd install if you choose to watch it for $10 bucks.

I hope anyone else that in on the fence about doing this goes ahead and does it, I just ordered my rear 2/3's 20% tint to overlay on the factory tint to darken it up a bit more.

i did it myself last year. 2.5% all the way around. i think it was like 20$ for the 2 rolls. if you know what your doing its so much cheaper and even if you mess up a few times it wont matter

Where did you get the precut? From a member on here? Looks good. I did my S10 a few months back. Came out okay.

My stuff just showed up, when I unrolled it, I was like WTF it was just 2 big rectangle sheets of tint. After I looked I saw the cuts in it.. Seems to be decent.. Going to get the stuff from wally world this week..

For only 15 shipped you cant beat it. NJ is pretty gay about tint laws but most of my friends just get a warning to pull it off. Id be pissed to pull $70 off my windows. Ill add this to my "mod" list
