Default Pre-cut tint

I see all these ads for pre-cut tints. Anyone have any experiences with these? Worth it or not? I just don't want to end up paying over 200 dollars to get this done.

On my 07 tC, spent like 270 for 5% on a 8in visor, sunroof, moonroof, and 20% on all other windows.

ive bought them before,but i had a shop install as its a pain to DIY,if you dont know how...overall quality is pretty decent...i know they have the new pre-cut tint where its easier to get off the tint sheet itself

I tint for a living and had dealt with precut tint before... its basically a one time shot at shrinking the film... if you mess up.. its done.. toss it away.. its best to just take it to a shop and have them do it.. call around..

too bad your not in the chicago area, i install tint for scion owners for 125 all around...

The precut kits are good if you know what you're doing. The back window will be a pain in the sack if you've never done it before.

yup,if you messed up its basicially garbage....its nice to DIY,but wont be the same as if a professional did it.

i was able to do the small back windows myself,but the front windows and the rear hatch i didnt even try as it was to much,just brought it to a shop,they normally dont like you bringing other tint to the shop,but i was cool with the gies,
