not worth my time and the little bit of "savings", besides MOST installers have access to better quality tints than we do....
And you could do just like you did when you bought your truck, call around a few shops and price it out...

I started installing window films(commercially) in 1989 and have seen many good and bad quality products out there but it's true what John stated is that installers usually have access to higher quality materials.
The off the shelf film can produce good results if done right but for the ease of things I recommend you run it by a high quality shop in your area Scott that warranties their work

I've installed double 5% on limos and RV's in the past now that's dark
Just be careful that you don't push over 35% on the fronts as it could net you up to a $200 fine and the officer/trooper might break out the tile blade on spot and scrape the film enough that it'll need replacing

sign here pleaseMy rear are done in 5% and fronts are 20%. I am thumbing my nose at the authorities, I don't have a front License plate either. Some day I plan to go 15% front and 5% plus a layer of something lighter over that.
I'll take the fine, but that better keep the razors away. Don't believe Texas Law allows for an LEO to do that

Had a buddy doing the same as you Kevin, until he tried to get the truck inspected. They wouldn't pass it, and because of our new inspection laws, he couldn't take it somewhere else. If you fail you must return to the same station that failed you. So your tint is in the hands/opinion of some highschool punk. My buddy had to remove his tint.
I like pushing my luck. Right now I am barely above the required 35% and it is hard to tell by looking. I've yet to have an inspestion place care about anything more than emissions, and we are currently exeempt from that. And yes last time it was a high school punk. After his test spin w/ the chip on high he wanted to know when he could borrow my truck.
I told him when he was making the payments.
