Putting on tint is not hard if you're careful and work slowly the first few times.

If you want to, I would suggest buying the tint and then removing the windows you plan on applying it to before you stick it on, that way you can lay them flat and really work out the bubbles.

Also, you'll definitely want a heat gun, and plenty of ammonia-free soap solution.

But, as stated above, you might be better off having it done professionally - I know nothing of the quality of that tint.

Snap tint SUCKS!!! I am a tinter, i had a customer bring some of that crap by to see if i would install it. He ordered the kit thinking he would do what you are thinking save money and learn, but he ended up trashing 2 peices of it cause he didn't know what he was doing. So then he wants me to tint his car and says go ahead and use what is left of my tint, then use yours on the other windows. I do not and will not normally install any other film than the companies i use and trust. There is a big swing in types and quality of film, and don't let a big name like llumar fool you, all manufacturers have crappy tints in their line up. So anyhow, i know this guy and told him i would take a look at it if it fit well i may consider using it, well it ended up not fitting to the window very well and the top edge of the roll downs had a bunch of wavy dips in the cut, which looks like **** by the way. Also the film felt alot like rubber, almost like the cling on **** you buy at wally world. I ended up not using any of that film, using my own and the job looked great. He says to me lesson learned, TAKE IT TO A PRO!!!!
