OK, for all those naysayers... I admit defeat...

Maybe not defeat, but I forfeit either way.

The installation job I did is not terrible, it is in no way professional...

HOWEVER, I am not happy with the product, with the tint quality of the product that went on the window...definitely not 3M.

You get what you pay for.

So now, a couple things are going to happen.

1) I am taking it to a local shop this weekend and am going to pay to have it removed. For one reason because I don't like the way it looks, and also because apparently in NJ tint on your front windows is illegal...and that's all I need is more reasons to get hassled...so its coming off...
2) I will most likely get the other windows tinted this winter, but not immediately. I am going to hold off for a while until I find a really good shop I can trust to do the tint, especially the back window with the defroster lines and such.

I firmly believe the procedure is sound, but the quality of the product was really what doomed this DIY.

If anyone knows any really good shops in NJ, I am all ears.
