Default tinting your bird

i was wondering if any of you guys tinted your bird yourself. ive tinted windows before before and my dad my used to do it alot but he said the back window would really be a pita. i could buy all windows precut and windshield brow for 85 bucks and do it myself or take it my local tint shop and pay 220 for them to do it. anybody tint their back window themself?

I tinted the doors and the strip along the windshield myself than had a shop do my back window. Instead of using one solid piece they tinted the back window in 2 pieces.

Never tinted my car, or paid anyone to do it. Thought about it a few times just never done it.

I tried once, but failed and ended up paying someone to do it.
This wasn't on the TA, but a previous car

Yeah, the hatch window is too large for a single piece of film

Back window for 220? Look elsewhere IMO, for that cheap I'd figure it'd start to bubble after a few years. Unless you can get them to give you a warranty on the window.

I thought 220 was kinda high, but I guess it all dependso n where you're at. I got my back window for 80 and so far no complaints. The highest I found in my neck of the woods for the back window alone was 150, lowest was 55.

220 was back and 2 sides, they said prolly 150 for just the back. but the tint i would do myself is precut and ready to put on, i bought it for my truck i used to have and its really high quality tint. i may just have them do the back window and do the sides myself

220 for everything isnt to bad! I was quoted 180 for everything on my car but I paid 100 for the back and did the rest myself.
