It is very, very simple. I did it and I am, by no means..mechanically inclined whatsoever...follow the write up/photos on the tech section...or do a quick search...

I agree with you guys on the chain stores unless you know the owner...LOL. I am having 5% done all around and Auto One in MI is a chain store. The owner lives next door to my parent place and his dad is good friends and neighbors with my parents. I have seen the work on my bro's RX-8 and nothing but praise came from that store. The owner quoted me 200 dollars for the 3 windows (quater windows are covered)and the tint they use is the same tint that his (owner) dad had applied to his 87 Grand National 20 yrs ago. No browning, peeling, cracking, or bubbling of the tint so far! Also the installer is the same guy he has been using for many years. Do your research and all will be well. J

I agree to stay away from the chains. Took into to Ziebart the first time...210 for 30%...not dark at all and it was not the best tint either. Then took it to a custom shop and they did 20% for 150 or so and the tint is much better quality also. No scratching at all yet.....moleskin helps with that though.
