When I had my windows tinted, the installer first tried the pre-cut application. After fighting w/ it for 15 min. he gave up and just did it old style.

I had my front two windows done for $80. For that kind of money, I'll happily take the warranty, and let them to the work.

Agreed I've seen some pretty bad do-it-yourself jobs. Wish Michigan didn't have the stupid law prohibiting front side window tint

Don't feel bad...California is the same way. At least in AZ you can legally tint the front windows with 30%.

Just in case anyone in the states may not be not sure what their state Tint laws are, here's a link:

And of course, here is the info for Canadians:
