Precut window tint kits

I see these on eBay and, being basically broke (car-poor actually), they look pretty attractive as the shops around here all seem pretty price-fixed in terms of $$$$.

Questions:

1. Anyone used a kit? Feedback?
2. Anyone have input on what film is better? I see a number of brands available and there's a huge price range
3. Install tips?

Thanks

Steve

I bought the sheets of film at a local auto parts store, cut and installed them on my Fuso FG. Not a difficult job. Pre-cut pieces would be much easier I think.

My only concern about the precut films is the quality of the film used. Removing tint film is a messy chore, so if I were going to put tint on, I'd want to last as long as I was going to keep the car.

3M film that is Color Stable would be a must in my book.
