Anybody ever tint their own windows? The windows on my miata don't seem like they would be that hard to do, no weird shapes or curves. Just curious.

Lightness? What's that? I drive a PRHT!
I have tint, but I did not do it myself. The sides probably arent very hard, except for the triangle windows. But the back glass is a pain in the ass, because of the defrost connectors.
I'd say leave it to the professionals, and find a good shop. I can't imagine that anybody would charge more than $75 to tint a Miata. Plus, that would include stuff like a warranty.

Let's have a tech day. I'm sure that we'd do a bang-up job on window tint. It goes on the outside, right?
OK... don't say I didn't warn you about letting Titus near your windshield...

There are times when it doesn't pay to be a CB. This is one of them.
I have limo tint on my miata. Yes, it's illegal. I like the privacy of the dark tint. Individuals pull up next to me at traffic lights and they can't see me. I don't have stupid people wanting to race me anymore, either. Go figure.
It's cost me 1 time so far, but I have gotten pulled over a few times since I've had the tint and cops don't generally notice. I recommend rolling your windows down when the weather is nice, obviously.
I had my "triangle windows" and the door windows done for $40 with high end metallic tint that isn't supposed to fade for 9 years or something. The guy that tinted my windows has tinted windshields before, but he doesn't recommend it.
Forget tint just use aluminum foil, it'll block all the sunlight and look very classy. Don't be a

I've always been a fan of rustoleum. Remember- several thin coats will help you avoid the runs.
