But better quality tint is probably easier to work with

It bubbles because of improper installation guys not because of the tint quality. You could get the most expensive tint available but if you **** up the install its ****** from the get go.

done my truck myself i find it helps to take the windows out and law them down easier to work with get a good squedigy and i hear if you put clean nail polish over the edges it helps keep it from peeling and lots of soapy water helps get it to look ok my windows look ok but they are not a profesinal job at all they look good from 20 feet

Bobby is correct, bubbles are caused by air getting under the film during the application. And if all the air isn't squezzeed out during application, the tint will lift causing bubbled.

With that being said, the cheap tint is absolute junk. And the "pre-cut" tint packages are also a joke. I can get a 100x better result cutting to length and trimming to an exact fit.

When applying tint, prep is key. Always start by razor blading the entire window multiple times, and making sure EVERY spec of dust is off the glass. ANY spec of dirt or dust WILL show up when the job is done if the glass isn't perfectly clean! We've done hundreds upon hundreds of tint jobs over the years, and using quality tint is what it takes to make a great looking tint stay great looking 10 years later!

Yeah that's kinda what I figured, sounds to finese for me, any ballpark ideas on how much it would cost to tint an ex cab?

When I had my 07 done it was $155 for all the windows in it. If your rear already has privacy glass it usually runs $65 for the front two and a windshield strip.

$155 ain't too bad, all my windows aren't tinted, if they are its that real light tint GM puts on.

155? damn i payed 45$ for my fronts and sides. i got 3 rolls from autozone. 1 for each front and 1 for both the back sides. its not hard just like everyone else says you need a good squegie and lots of warm soapy water.

I kno it cost me about 80 bucks for jus the front windows on my truck but has life time warranty for any defects. I priced the same guy that did my tint for the rest of the truck i think it was about 130, but i never got that done.
