10 -4 on the professional They told me 85 bucks but I had them do something a lot different. I have stripes on my car and I had them put 2 chrome stripes down then they put the dark 1 piece tint down. it looks great. and its backed for lifetime warrenty.
good luck if you do it yourself

i HIGHLY recommend a professional installation of tints. the place where i got mine done offers a lifetime warranty and uses high quality tint. DIY tint jobs just never turn out as nice, not to mention there is no warranty.

I have done them before. It's not hard, it just takes time. But now shops offer tint for $100 and sometimes under. That's not much money at all, and it comes with a warranty. So unless you're really strapped for cash, take it somewhere.

I have done it and it's a pain in the ***. The rear window will be almost impossible to do yourself in one sheet. If you wan't it to look good pay someone to do it.

AGREED! +1

And make sure that you find someone that uses a good quality film. Tint turns purple because it is crappy filmto begin with. I found a guy that uses a good quality3M film, and it has looked GREAT for a very long time. Costs a little more, but for his expertise and better film..........it was well worth it!

why does the tint turn purple?
Windex or any similar glass cleaner with alcohol and/or other cleaning strigents will cause film to turn purple. clean with warm soapy water and wipe well

ALL films fade with sun exposure, over time.
