Thought about tinting the celica's windows. should i buy precut? a friend told me walmart brand is ok. i thought about 5 or 20% for the rear. 20 or 35% for the sides and maybe 35 or 50% for the front. also can i do this with a friend or two or just go pro? if by myself what tools are recommended? if by a pro what is the cost?

Thanks any help is appreciated!

People who buy cheap store bought tint and does it themselves are always different looking than those who take it somewhere and have proffessionals install Llamar tint. I have taken every car Ive owned over the years into a tint shop and installed the best. If you go cheap on this, you will notice and probably be unhappy.
