I only did the side windows so far. I'll do the quarter windows later, and I'm not doing the rear because the defrosting strips will screw it up.

It's a little bubbly on the edges but hardly noticeable. Tell me what you think!

Unfortunately I do use them though. I get out of work at 3:30am and every day my windows are fogged up.

If I was rich enough to waste money on a heatgun for a one-time tint job, I'd just use the money to pay a professional to do the quarter panels and passenger/driver windows for me.

EDIT: In terms of body condition, you're just lucky that I accidentally left out the mark on the right side from the pressure washer. Got distracted for a second and accidentally held it in one place, stripping the paint off of a quarter-sized portion of the door. I am going to eventually work on getting all the scratches out, which may take FOREVER thanks to the fact that millions of rocks have scratched the paint and it has never been detailed. I'm concerned because my front bumper seems made of this crappy plastic that just practically attracts dents and scratches, and never even works all that well with wax. I'm a little pissed about my driver's door trim, where you can see the chrome. You know how it's supposed to be black? Well my stepdad thought he needed an extreme amount of pressure on the ice scraper to de-ice my car, and then he scratched off some of the paint.

or u could just goto your local home depot, pick up a heat gun, use it, and return it. cost = free. i am actually in the process of tinting mine right now. personally those bubbles would bug the heck out of me, but to each his own. it def takes a little practice, luckily a friend of mine was in town and i offered to tint her windows for practice =)
