Don't waste your time unless you are far more patient than I. After buying
$50 worth of film, I gave up after trying the simplest, flattest window
three times (and going through a $10 roll of film)

Doing window tinting is about as much fun as painting ceilings.  And you
can't get the really dark "limo" tint at the FLAPS anyway (they only sell it
to the professional installers.)  The stuff you see labeled as "limo" is
really only about 25% to 30%  - you will be disappointed when you get it
installed.

OK - I'm ready for the flames from you DIY-types   < :-)
