pre cut tints?
if you know what your doing then the fronts look great (although police will rip them off) but rears are too hard to do yourself really, and turn out shite. might aswell save up and go to somewhere like autotint.
its about £150 for fron side windows and the 3 back windows

if you take your rear window out and then run a bath... submerge it into the bath and then place your tinting film in on top - slowly put it in place on the inside of your window and smooth it out then from the underside lift ure window out and the majority of the water will come out with the excess squidgiable out 
its hard but works apparently

I got my fronts done on a very light tint, and so far the police havent been a problem. I have 40% on all side windows with Limo black on the back window.

It is, but with most things the police dont care as long as you dont draw attention to yourself. I have had them pull up alongside a few times, and I constantly have them following me around at night. They tail for a bit then shoot off. 6 months now and the only time the police have ever stopped me was just to tell me to turn my fogs off, even though it was foggy! Just did as they said and all was good.

I have used film kits - came out OK - just gotta take ya time
I found that it is easier to make a cardboard template of the window to cut the film the right shape
