Yea professionally done is the best. I paid 150 for all windows and I went with 15%. I believe they used 3M. I've been going to the same shop for about 4 years now and no problem.

i agree with the majority and take it to a shop - normally they will have a lifetime warrenty for bubbling. I had all my vehicles tinted and always get darker than you think in time they will absoutley lighten up in the sun. I recommend 20% just don't go all "Obama" it up and get yellow or blue tint.

however yellow tint might be ok for hunting in the field or fishing outta the truck ! haha

Eh, our trucks aren't that hard to do. The glass is pretty flat. It was one of the easiest I've ever done. I think it's worth trying it yourself but it can be frustrating if things start going wrong.

Here is a little how to I did for the rear side windows. There is a step by step further down the page.

I used to tint windows it's not a hard truck at all. But take it to a shop. And don't think you can't talk the price down. Every tint shop makes their own prices. I used to do family for free. Most places around here charge 100-150
