This is an honest review of the product and experience. The product was top-notch. The package arrived quickly with everything I needed to perform the installation. The materials themselves were high quality and cut perfectly. The wealth of informative videos and articles was great - they make it look so easy! (As they should, they are professionals!) Unfortunately, I was not so lucky. As hard as I tried, I am not an expert, and I wasn't able to get the results expected. It's a great product if you're willing to give it a try. The only fault lies with me and my inability to install it correctly.
No one made the color vinyl I wanted in the thicker raised dash kits. This was the best alternative. For my 2011 Smart Car ForTwo, I applied each section but there were a few cut outs that I could not match to the car. On plastic surfaces the vinyl stuck well. On other surfaces I had to use contact cement. If doing the latter, allow to dry overnight since when the vinyl is first applied over light contact cement, the vinyl might bubble some but that disappears overnight.
The tint is great and fits perfectly. But this is the second time I've tried tinting my own windows, and it's the last. I just do not have enough experience to not mess it up. I did a much better job this time, but still too many air bubbles and creases.
