Anyone in here who bought the pre cut tint for JK sold on E-bay?

I am thiking about buying one, but wanted to find out how it is before I do so.

Thanks

 

don't do it, just take it to a local shop....it's not that expensive and it'll look better down the road.

 

Before I bought the Kit, I looked into a local shop to tint my front windows and they were charging me $75 (at least here in my area). I opted to purchase the precut kit from eBay for ~$20 + shipping....The install was very easy, just need to take your time prepping and installing...No regrets, the cut was dead on and the quality was superb....Here are a few shots of the tint installed. I chose the 20% to match the factory rear...





I guess it boils down to how much your willing to spend and the added convenience / piece of mind of a professional shop doing the work (But again the installation was a breeze & went on easy)...Good luck...Thanks...

 

The instruction that was included in the kit recommends to just pull the rubber seal / molding over and tape it...I chose to remove the door panels....The kit didnt come with the squeegee. I had one lying around along with an empty spray bottle. The materials I used were newspaper & water to clean the window (this doesnt leave any lint on the glass), squeegee, spray bottle and baby shampoo mixed with water....I'm pretty sure you can find the materials at a local walmart, kmart, target, etc and it wouldnt cost too much....

 

I would not do the precut windows. I have 20% tints on my 2door that were done at a buddy's shop. The precut tints only cover what you can see with your windows rolled up. Most tint shops have ways of going past just what you can see. Also, this helps to keep the tint from rolling up on the corners or starting to peel.

 

The one thing to remember about paying $75 to a shop to do it, almost all shops offer *lifetime* warranties against anything... fading, peeling, scratching, etc that will eventually happen with tint.

 

Thinking the same thing,I tried it once on a car WOW I messed that up
Maybe the Jeep windows would be easier,smaller
I think I will get it done professionally done

 

I spent $135 getting the door windows tinted 20% and the windshield 50% with ADN tint.
It is essentially perfect and well worth the money spent.

 

Used precut on a friends and cut my own prior to that.

The pre-cut worked as good as my own cut (wish I would have known it was available before I bought $25 bucks worth of stuff).

Anyway, unless you are experienced in doing this I would suggest paying the $75. Not that it is all that hard to do but you will need to pull all the window surround rubber to get it done right - I guess you could gently squeege but I wouldn't/didn't.

Best tip you could get on this is to use WAY TOO MUCH soap/water solution when serperating, on window, and on tint side to reduce chance of scratches with plastic paddle.

Soak everything and keep it wet until you have the tint where you want and are starting to move the air bubbles. Use a hair dryer to finish up and keep in place when you put the rubber seal back on.

Good luck if you try it!!!!!!!

 

I ordered the precut tint. I'll let you know how it goes.
