not real hard just make sure both sides of the window are clean. and the area where you are working is clean. it wont take much moving around to get something under the tint. keep the windows wet and take your time. basck window should take about 45 minutes.

Usually cheap tint turns purple from UV exposure..so buy quality tint and your good to go.

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.

I agree with paying to have it done.
Get the lifetime warranty tint and if it turns purple the company will replace it.If they are still in business!

DIY'in it can be done but it takes a lot of patience and usually turns out badly the first few times you do it.It might look good for awhile but it starts coming loose around the edges and looks like crap.The little shading dots on the windows are major problem area's even for the pro's.Even little mistakes stick out like beacons and can ruinthe appearance of anotherwise well done car.
