Get it done professionaly. Its a pain in the ass to install tint, and they will be able to do a much better job. Plus, I'm sure most reputable places will also use much better tint compared to what you would buy on ebay.

yea go pro............i would do all my own tinting on my old bucket ass cars but they would always come out ghetto and your garunteed a few bubbles around the edges....the acura TL back window looks pretty hard too

go pro....most shops should charge anywhere from 150-200 for back windows, and a little more for all 7 windows

i got quoted 275 for all 7 at this one shop...kinda steep though....im gonna shop around, my boy might be able to do it for like 150$ hopefully

Agree, let the tint shop do it. Most of the shops around Chicago use the Madico film. I had my wife's car done at a shop in Naperville. I have 35% Llumar tint all around on my 02 TL-S. Looks good. IMHO Llumar tint is the best with Madico coming in a close second.

bring it to the tint shop, no brainer, putting the tint on is definatley the hardest part , so many things can go wrong, plus you dont want to have to hold yourself accountable
