I'm looking to tint my windows. Question I wanna know, is which is the best of these two?
Window Tint 1 or Window Tint 2
Or would you recommend something entirely different?

not sure if you have done it yourself before mate but i tried to do mine myself and it was a nightmare, id personally take mine to a place to get it done properly as it will be perfect then, its hard to get all the bubbles and creases out and it looks shit, but i suppose if you have done it before and are comfortable with doing it i'd go for the first link

Never done it before tbh. I've managed to fit cut and fit a sunstrip to my missus' car, which I was pretty proud of, but I know it won't be a one man job.
Just phoned a local place, and for the back 3 windows he said about £120 - plus a 5 year guarantee. Supposedly uses this stuff from America too, which is decent stuff.
Cheap shit usually turns purply or brown after so long. Hmm..
Thanks mate
