    Planning on DIY tinting my windows. Looking for Brand Name recommendations. Does anyone have any experience with installing certain brands that you like or dislike ? Than you for any help.

    @Jtaco78 Thank you for your response. No I don't have any experience. Tried my first window today. You are correct it is not a DIY. There is definitely an art to it, a type of crafstmanship. It took me 3 tries to get the one window done and I would rate it as good job, definitely not perfect and let's not talk about how much time I put in to it lol lol. I am hoping to get the other window done soon. Much respect goes out to people that do this for a living.:bowdown:

    @Jtaco78 Got it done today and it came out good, for sure not perfect. Thnx for the suggestion of Youtube and doing it inside. Seemed that most of my problems were from cutting it too big and not using enough of the Tint Juice on the glass. Thankfully the roll was 100 ft lol lol, thank you.

    All of my vehicles get SunTek ceramic (including the full windshield), but its $1100 for a roll of that stuff. I can't wrap anything cleanly to save my life though, my tint guy is my buddy lol.

    I've read that Llumar ceramic is supposed to be good stuff.
