Hey guys! I just wanted to know if self window tinting is really as awful as everyone says? I had mine done professionally a month ago, but my asshole stepfather is making me peel it off (it is 20%) legal limit is 35. Is it really worth the time/effort to learn/ do it yourself?

The following 1 user thanked Radeon for this useful post:

It's difficult but your local store shouldn't have done it to the point that it's illegal, I wouldn't do it myself because air pockets can occur and that's just not fun.

I would get it done at a place that does it and to the guy above me tints places will let you pick any percent of tint. They just warn you that its your own fault if you get pulled over for it or get a ticket

Yeah what he said. Just because it is illegal for public doesn't mean its not on a commercial vehicle. They warn you its illegal but it is your choice to do it or not.

Also, from what i've heard its a pretty hard skill to successfull manage I would jhust leave it. If you paid for it, not your step dad then screw him.

Window tinting shops warn you that it is illegal if you do want illegal tint and they make you pay in cash only..
