i tinted all the side windows myself. Easy job when you get the windows out. However, the back window was too hard so i paid £50 to get it done by the prof's.
Saved a packet doing the side myself. I bought 2 rolls from the shop @ £10 each and they were done in a few hours.
Do the sides yourself smileys/smiley2.gif

yeh , bout £150 to get full pro job, and generally u get a very good finish. But as Dave said, if you do it yourself it is a lot cheaper, but i found that i was really annoying to do it , and also get it wrong and its hard to rectify ! AS i found out and had to go and buy another roll !! I really do like those silver - black tints tho, they look mad on the right colour cars.
