Honestly, by the time you get the materials (quality tint) and the time and a space to do it (heated garage)
its cheaper to go to a shop and pay the $99.

You can't get good tint at pepboys or anywhere like that. It'll turn and fade in 12-18 months.
There are a few places I recommend for tint.
Auto Magic in Glassboro & Imagine Audio in Cherry Hill.

If you want to give it a shot we can, just let me know and i'll post a list of items to get.

I just got my car windows tinted on Saturday. 15 front, 5 rear.  They did a nice job, but it was more than $99.

There's a big difference between what you get at pep boys and what they use in a tint shop
I used to do it for a living.

Marc is right. The only people who can save money and get a quality tint Job is a professional tinter.  #@rofl3

If they screw up a window, and it does happen, they just cut another one. If you screw up a window, YOU have to pay for another piece

You're much better off going to a shop. Better tint. Much cleaner install and a guarantee.

I concur. I love my tint and wish I'd done it sooner.   Yes it was a little pricey, but they did an excellent job.
