It is pretty cheap, but if you have the right tools (the good adhesive they use and good tint that doesn't fade (LLUMAR, 3M, etc.) then go at it. But I'd rather have it done by the pros although I can do mine by myself.

Ebay has pre cut tint for dodge's. But I get it done by a pro the windows are pretty curved in the middle which makes it a pain to do.

Paying is the way to go. Plus when you pay, you get the warrenty, if you go legal.

True True, I have no warranty due to all the windows being illegal.

I agree. I've tried it a few times and never been super happy with how it turned out. It's kind of a pain. It's something some guys seem to be able to do but I just never got it to look like I wanted and would probably spend more in film than it would cost to pay someone. I like messing with it so still play around with it sometimes but it's never come out like I wanted. If you want it to look good I'd probably just pay someone.


Oh btw a lot of the shops here still seem to offer the warranty even if you go darker than legal.
