    i didnt find it too bad to tint my window tbh... look'd like the nuttz, just takes a shit load of patience... then when my mate goes, edge is peeling and decided he would very kindly show it, and pull it and peeled a shitty piece off, i heated the fuckers up then crincled and got ripped off!
    
    decided it lookd shit after about 3 hours of havin them in.
    the back of the car gets wayy to dark for my liking, its a wank for reversing.
    
    new window mods are in progres for me atm, blue glass
