Review: Not bad for the money - Solid budget tint. Got the 2.5% for my rear windows and it's very dark. Bought some more to do the rest. Not too hard to install, just have to be careful with it because it'll crease fairly easily.
Review: It's tint...lol - The tint itself was nice. I couldn't get 3 line bubbles out of the bottom to save my life and gave up. Not a reflection on the tint though. The rest of it looked gorgeous. Be careful getting the label off the roll though.

A: Hello Wequal-usThe size of the window tint is smaller than what you might expect. I'll list the exact dimensions of what the company has on the box.24" X 6.5' -or- 61cm X 1,98cm Hope this helps.

**Q: Can you apply this on the inside of car windows-or would that be stupid?**
A: Yes.  Its best to apply to the inside of your car windows.  If possible, have an extra pair of hands available to help apply window film.

**Q: I'm thinking of using this to blackout the back of an aquarium, will it completely black it out?**
A: this is amazing product that is easy to apply one of the best i have used, and for your ? yes as long as your look up limo black and look at the % so you choose how dark you want to go i think it will look cool on a fish tank,good luck

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not bad for the money
*by A***R on July 1, 2025*

Solid budget tint. Got the 2.5% for my rear windows and it's very dark. Bought some more to do the rest. Not too hard to install, just have to be careful with it because it'll crease fairly easily.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's tint...lol
*by W***P on December 23, 2020*

The tint itself was nice. I couldn't get 3 line bubbles out of the bottom to save my life and gave up. Not a reflection on the tint though. The rest of it looked gorgeous. Be careful getting the label off the roll though.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Probably fine, but do not use for minivans.
*by I***Y on August 15, 2015*

Probably good for other applications, but not for minivans. I bought 3 rolls of this stuff to try and black out the rear windows on my minivan. (Everything behind the driver and passenger windows.) I did watch the youtube video. My chances of getting an installation without it were about zero. I also bought the installation kit. Invaluable. Don't try it without the kit. Okay, the problems: 1. The geniuses at Gila, when taping the roll shut, use a gigantic sticker that says "Gila" on it. At a minimum, this ruins about a square foot of the tint. Maybe more. BUT... if you don't notice it and start trimming to your window size, it causes you to throw away the piece you are trimming and have to start again with a new piece. That ruined 1 entire roll in my case. 2. Note that in the installation video, they point out that you can't use this stuff on rear windows because it doesn't handle compound curves. Well.. it doesn't handle the compound curves of a minivan window, either, near as I can figure. So, that's that. While trying to keep straightening out the large bubbles, I creased a piece. That was another half-roll. 3. I was thinking that maybe it would work once the side that is on the sticky stuff is taken off. The stuff is thinner, then. Maybe if you press the adhesive to the glass, it would work. But, when I took off the protective side, the sticky side stuck immediately to the film, ruining yet another piece. I don't fault the product, itself, but if I tried again, I'd start wetting down the adhesive side, as I was removing the protective layer. 4. A faulty trimming job in the last remaining piece meant that out of 6 potential pieces that could have covered a window, I had zero. On the bright side, I had one window that was immaculately clean. I can see how the product would be awesome. If you see the video, you see an example of how it could. Hey, why not. But you'll also notice, they only show it being applied to a driver or passenger side window that can be rolled up and down. I think for other windows, it gets far more complicated. It can still be done, but if the window has compound curves (curves from top to bottom and side to side), there's a possibility that it won't work at all. Now, I've seen some folks jump on guys who say this stuff is hard to work with. I would say it isn't easy. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 6 or so. Not impossible by a long shot. Once you get good with it, probably not that bad. But for the typically adept do-it-yourselfer, if you make a small mistake (and you can't avoid them without bumping into them and learning by experience a few times), you will absolutely ruin a piece of film. Now, on the positive side, these criticisms: 1. I didn't think the roll was too short. If not for the other problems, it was enough to do an entire side of a minivan. 2. I didn't think the film was too thin. I don't know if other film is thicker and more elastic or what. If so, it would be nice. But nothing comes close to this price point at all. Would I try this project again? Not on your life. It can be done, but there's a lot of art to this. Best left to a shop that does tint.
