I went 50% on the sides and darker on the rear. Did it myslef, no bubbles, no problems but don't buy the cheap crap at walmart, buy professional grade film!!!




Nice paint job, but shaved door handles = drool

get the tint done professionally
I tried once on my Jeep and after about $70 spent on film and 2 days of absolute frustration I ripped it all off and went with the pro. job at the end.
As they say - greedy pays twice

I've only done it myself once ... on a '74 F150. I was painting the truck and had the glass out, so I did it myself on the kitchen table with just over-the-counter materials. That tint job never bubbled and held up very well for at least 5 years (truck was totalled by a subsequent owner then). I only did that truck myself because it looked so easy, the glass was flat and basically square so it was really easy to trim.

I don't think I would attempt to tint my Camaro myself, though.

As a side note on tinting, Texas just passed a law allowing 25% on the sides. It had been 35%.
