Has anyone tinted their own windows? If so how did it go? Was it hard?

The reason I ask is that I'm only 17 and I'm paying for everything I do on the car (understandbly) And I am willing to spend the 200-300 to get my windows tinted but if doing it myself won't make much difference I'd rather put the money into something esle.

    having tried to tint windows myself, i would leave it to a pro. i tried to use a very expensive film (that i got for a bargain price) and still couldnt do it well so theres definetly a 'nack' to it.

    i would expect to pay up to £150 for 5 windows
