Where to buy pre-cut tint

I'm looking at tinting my windows, and honestly, I'd just like to pay someone to do it, but unfortunately, I live in North Dakota, and the best price I got out here was $400. And I'm not paying 400 to tint my windows. I've done tint jobs on some of my old Hondas before, with mixed results. I'm looking for a company that sells pre-cut kits for Evo's but I haven't really found anyone that does. A few places that I found from Google sell them, but they look a little shady.
Basically I'm asking if anyone knows of a reputable place to buy pre-cut tint kits for an Evo. Thanks!

if you can't find any for the evo, i'm 98% sure you can just use lancer pre-cuts.

the shop i had tint my windows used a program that cuts the film for whatever car they're doing and as the guy was setting it up we were joking and he said "for the next hour you're going to be a regular lancer" and we loled.

There is a local shop here that uses a plotter and they cut everything out by car. Try giving them a call. Ask for james he is the manager and a friend of mine. 417-623-3388

$400 is way out of line. Got both my Evo done and my IS 300 for $200 and was with the upgraded film. Keep looking.

^^^ that's cheap. Got mine done for $400. I suggest calling around, and get it done professionally. You don't have a honda.

I did my Civic Si, and honestly it came out just fine. So I'm not questioning my ability. I'm not paying $400, and to anyone that said call around, HAHAHAHA I live in Minot, North Dakota. There is one shop that does tinting, and two guys that do it on the side. The next closest city is almost 2 hours away, and their best price was about 400 also. Back in NY, I never paid more than 250 for a tint job, that included 2 doors, 4 doors, and a pickup truck.
I asked a simple question, if anyone knows reputable places to buy precut tint. If you think its worth it to pay someone $400 for a job that I don't think should be more than $275-$300, or I can just do myself, then more power to you.
