roll on window tint good or bad?

i want to tint my front windows just a tiny bit or half as much as my stock tint. but still matching, not silver or blue or mirrored. i think it might be illegal in BC canada to have too much...i see people driving around with limo tint all the way around so i say im going to do it. and maybe even check with the law first ^^ ..where do you find these laws out?
has anyone here used the DIY tinting kits you can buy at the auto store for like 20 bux. given that i do a good job do you think it would look like garbage?

there is a thread that displayes all the tint laws I believe its for the US only but some Google searching should help find you some imformation or calling the DMV they should know of be able to tell you where to find out.

Here is the thread for the US tint laws..
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....ight=tint+laws

Here is the link for both US and Canada tint laws..
http://www.gilafilms.com/auto/car_tint_laws.html

Just on a side note... I bought the cheap crap and installed it myself (with some help) and had it on my old car before I wrecked it (oops) and I never had any bubbles or peeling anywhere. I had it on the car for almost 2 years... If you do it right, it should be ok. It's just very hard to do it right.
