pre cut window tints???

i've been really thinking of tinting my windows in my 2010 mcs. i haven't done any window tinting in several years. i'm not afraid of doing the install myself either but i'd hate to waste the money just in case it doesn't go well. i found some precut window tint kits on ebay for around 40 bucks and was wondering if anyone had used these? is the quality any good? would you recommend a professional install? i'm only going to do the 3 rears. my only concern is the curves in the glass.

Skip being cheap and get it done right with the quality materials. I will not be worth the time, aggravation, and the money you will spend just to have it taken off and redone professionally.

I thought about doing it myself but then I stopped by a local shop to get an estimate. It was only $200 for all 5 windows with lifetime quality tint. I had the pros do it.

started looking around and found one of the recommended places locally does 2 doors cars for 125. lifetime warranty on bubbling, discoloring, fading, scratching, cracking, peeling, etc...

i guess it's worth the little extra to have it done right...

I would take to a pro and get a lifetime warranty.
