For anyone who installed them themselves can you let me in any tips and such. I did the front any they came out great but once I got to the rear OUCH! How do you make it around the corner and flatten out the tint?!?!?!?!? I had soo may wrinkles and such it was near impossible to get perfect... Ill be ordering 2 more but wanna make it my last order lol...

Any help or info would be great!

Thanx in advance

Yup.. Prolly better to just have a pro do it or you'll be buying multiple sets until you get it right.

When you get to the outer part where the bump is, thats where you want to take the hairdryer and apply some heat to make the vinyl more pliable. Stretch it a tad and apply pressure to the area stretched and slowly work your way to the ends. I find it easier at this point of the install to use your fingers and work the vinyl overlay the hump. Like molding clay.
