It got moved to general car mod section.
My suggestion, get it done professionally because it won't look go if you do it, and that tint is cheap as hell and will bubble, peel, and turn purple fast.

Ya, it's almost cheaper to just go have it done.
Much better tint with a warranty.
Like Justin said, that stuff from the auto parts stores, will turn Purple within a year. (that's if it doesn't fall off first)

I bought it and attempted it.
First roll ended up in the trash, second was returned.
I do not have the patience required...

The tint shops will sometimes sell you there tint. But its not cheap.
By the time you learn how to do it, just cheaper to pay the money.
Heck place in Toledo does it for $170 lifetime warranty....

Roll it back up in the box, and take it back.
tell them you decided to have it done professional instead
