tinting my windows tomorow

i think i am going to be tinting my windows tommorow.. i saw my budy at the gas station today who has an S10, and i saw his windows were tinted, i asked where he got it done, and he said that he did it himself.. it looked really nice.. i am thinking about picking up this http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBr...EGIL%7C%7Etrue
for the back window.. i wanna do 5% in the back, but i may go with 20% all the way around

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/appearance-48/yay-transformed-2-days-41480/ Mine is 20% all the way around, but I had mine professionally done! So when mine gets f'd up they will fix it for me for free!

Definetly don't try to attempt it yourself if you've never done it before. You should be able to have it completely done professionally for anywhere between 150 and 200 bucks and have a warranty with it in case they get messed up. It's well worth the headache. S10's have straight windows and are very easy to do.

Tinting is a very specialized skill. Not everyone can do it. I would question the quality of this particular film, too. Be careful.
