anyone used a pre-cut window tint kit?

[NeverSatisfied]

just wondering if anyone has had experience with using a pre-cut window tint kit? questions that arise to me are quality of course but mainly how accurate is the cut of the film? I feel confident enough to get something like this and do it myself but would rather just take it somewhere if I need to do all the cutting myself.

thanks for any info and help.

here's a link to what got me wondering about this

I'm definitely a DIY kind of guy and I don't think its worth the effort.

That's how they do it here at my work. Put in the vehicle info and cuts it all out. Wastes less material that way. If you are sure you can put it on and it's a 3m product. I don't see a issue with it.

most tint places now use a cutter (like vinyl) to cut tint now. So what they are doing is just selling you a pre-cut tint. Personally, I've tinted before so I have no issue buying it pre-cut. I just know people still so I don't need to worry about it.

I'm using this. I did the sides myself and had a tint guy do the rear window and I brought a windshield piece (not pre cut.

There customer service is top notch and they film is really good.

Thanks for the input guys. 99% sure I could do it. Hell I work with vinyl everyday for a living and it would save me tons of money

Will do buddy. May just tint the whole windshield and call it good for now. Bought the truck with the factory 20 on the backs and previous owner added 30 to the front two. My 04 had 5% on the front 2 with a 5% strip and 2% on the rest. Looked amazing but I can't see as is so it wasnt very practical for me later in the days

I got 50% on the shield and 30% on front with 20% over factory in the rear and love it! Wish I could go darker on the front but don't want the hassle with the cops. Stopped once in 2 weeks of doing tint but since the front is all legal they let me go, still a hassle of having it darker

Well the wife is taking it to our normal tint guy today to get the front 2 matched to the rears at 20% (birthday present) this is ultimately what I wanted and now I'm just going to have the whole windshield done at 30% and call her good. The windshield will help make everything appear darker from the outside and still let my terrible eyes see at night.

I had 35% on my old yukon and if it wasn't for HID retrofit projectors it SUCKS for driving at night. Some people can see through it but I prefer 50% since I drive a lot at night but with good retrofit projectors you can run the darker tint
