should i tint my own windows using gila films from o reilly auto parts? i dont want to waste money but i do want to block heat and make the front windows darker

 

no..

 

Pay someone, a pro, to do it. You'll have a warranty and it'll look so much better. To do it right yourself, you'll have to take apart your door panels and get everything ***** on. Better off in the long run paying a pro.

 

dido

 

X3 ^

 

If you think you can do it, just do it yourself. If you dont think you can do it, pay to have it done.

 

I have seen so many cars, and trucks, where people "thought" they could "do it" and they look like crap. More air bubbles than a roll of bubble-wrap. That, and the tint usually turns purple after a year or two...

 

thats why you use a squeegee, and good tint.

 

I have tried to tint a window before, and it ain't easy, to say the least. Even with a squeegee, there is a certain "knack" to putting on the tint. I managed to get most of the air bubbles out, but there were still a few tiny bubbles that just wouldn't come out. If I ever decide to have the windows on my F150 tinted, I will certainly take it to a professional. It will look much better and I will be much happier, in the long run...

 

Well when I was 16, I thought I could too, 6 months later peeling began.
DAMN just figured out I'm getting older!
