okayyyyyyy, details? did you do everything or was it precut or what? any fingers or bubbles? is this your first time doing it? if so, it looks like a great job if you cut it and did everything from scratch.

Weren't you the one that bought the ebay tint?

If so, it looks good from the pics. I want to see how they look like down the road in lets say a year. I wouldn't do ebay tint ever. Never.

I've had my windows tinted for about 4-5 years and there still as black and dark since day one. No purple. They've also held up perfectly especially the back windows.

I've seen and been in peoples cars where their tint is starting to fall off lol

i didn't put on the tint... i paid 50 bucks to a guy who tint the windows on the cars. this is ebay precut tint from nusolis and its very cheap in terms of quality because we had very hard time getting this to stick... there are few tiny bubbles.... i will keep this tint on for a while and replace it with llumar atc series whenever it starts to get worse lol!!

i will keep you guys updated and thanks for the comments!! i have a quick question... the guy wiped the truck with his micro fiber cloth and it's raining today and the water is beading like the car was waxed recently... i think their was motor oil or some kind of oil on the cloth... do you guys think it will damage the paint? should i wash the car with dish washing soap and wax it?
