Default Window tinting = eazymode?

so pretty new at all this. on a whim i started working on the aesthetics of my balt and im wondering if the do it yourself kits for tinting are as easy as the claim.

I know about the lifetime warranty for bubbles that most manufacturers have, but i guess my question is how easy is it to mess up irreparably? Is it worth having a tint shop do it for 4 times the price?

by the way, mods and admins, awesome site, you guys are rockin it.

I tried to tint my beater using a pre-cut kit and it was hard, and I can do pretty much anything(not to sound arrogant or cocky) let the shop do it, you save maybe 50 bucks doing it yourself.

the rear window is where the tricky comes in 1 the dot matrix and 2 the angle compared to its surroundings hard to get to, the window needs to come off
