Mosr like stay away from CHEAP precut window tint...
Computers laser cut the tint to the exact dimensions, therefore giving you a perfect fit, cheap tint, however, will fade over time...
I'd say look into some high quality precut window tint... or, just buy the sheets and do it that way.

RE: window tinting
Some places use vinyl plotters to "precut" tint... It gets the tint close... but you still have to do the trimming and final fit. I think Klings knows what he's doing with tint, I'd ask him what he does, and if he Precuts or just does it normally.

RE: window tinting
I used it on mine. looks great!Bought it from elitetint on ebay. I think it was about $17 delivered for front 2 windows only. I didnt have to cut it at all. Its bigger than the windows but the bottom is tuckedin.If you do make a mistake and crease the tint you canjust buy a rollof tint at your autoparts store and trace the the precut one that you bought....

RE: window tinting
theres a lot that goes into tint. for example, there are 2 ways to make tint.
1-using a die to color your film
2-using dark metallic transparent flakes
die will discolor or fade a lot faster than very small pieces of metal will...also, you want to get some tint that is 'scratch resistant'......there is a huge differance in cheap **** and nice tint. that is not an area i would want to skimp on....but, everyone is different. id go have it done, and ask what brand tint they use so you can research it and make sure its not colored with a dye and is scratch resistant.
