Has anyone tinted their windows? If so where did you do it/ does it look good/ how easy was it to do?

I bought a kit of ebay but they haven't turned out very well at all- lots of bubbles and they have began to peel off after a matter of a couple of days!

Any feedback would be much appreciated

Mine were done by the factory when it was built, and IMO it looks a lot sportier.

Think mine was around the £150 mark but they did a very good job - had some positive comments at FITP - though some say it looks 'Van like' on a Black . As long as you don't go too dark I think it looks good though.
