Just had my Ram front door windows and strip on the windshield done for $60. Most things I can do better than some "professionals" but no way I could do a better job on tinting. Besides anything else I've had done by this guy still looks new even after eight years. ‘72 Charger, 5.9 Magnum, Tremec 5 spd., Pro-Touring ‘14 Big Horn, Quad Cab, 4x4, 1500

I had all my glass out already to replace it with AMD tinted shaded glass. I did scratch one window and had to have it redone. I used the lightest 3M tint they had, and am happy with the combination of factory tint plus the 3M tint. They even did the windshield. 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

Don't know what brand names are out there these days, but typically I've avoided the parts store, off the shelf stuff. It tends to be lighter duty and not as color stable. I buy from a tint place willing to sell it by the foot. They tend to have higher quality film that a bit thicker and a lot more color fast.

Tint is one thing that's better off to just get a shop to do. It doesn't cost that much and if it doesn't look good you go back and get it redone. You can almost always tell who's done it themselves because it's full of bubbles and usually fades to a strange purple color.

Windows going up and down tend to disturb the tint and it will start to pull off the window. It may work if you get the tint below the rubber line. They sell precut window tint on ebay. I bought some but haven't installed it yet.
