Think it is pretty hard to fit tints! Got mine done professionally. But you could do it your self if u've got the time + patience. Think there's a section in Max Power this month about doing tints, tells u what to do and stuff! Good Luck!

i think if u want to take out the front windows you have to drill out rivets and then rivet them back into position. consult a haynes manual buddy
ive heard thet if you get sum small annoying bubbles you can burst them with a really sharp pin

I know u may laugh @ Max Power but if u ain't got a clue about where to start with tints, it could help. But if you know what your doing, fair enough!
Yer if u get a small bubble you can prick with a pin and smooth it out with a cloth, thats what I was told after got mine done it any small bubbles appeared!!

I'd recommend getting them done professionally cause i've done both sides of my car myself and to be quite honest, they haven't all gone that well. The driver and passenger doors are so much more difficult than the rears and they don't look to good! Don't do it yourself, u'll end up spending a fortune on tint when it goes tits up and u need more!
