Has anyone done their own here? Some cars are diy able, some arent. Just wondering what the consensus is. |

I plan to do my own. The side windows should be pretty easy since they have the thick black trim around them. The back hatch window seems easy enough too. Tint isn't expensive at all, I say get out there and give it a shot. At the very worst you'd have to tear it off and pay a pro. Youtube should have some helpful videos too. |

For the sides you should remove at least the seat belts, but I pulled all the trim too. For the back apparently you put the tint on the outside of the glass and shrink it into shape with a heat gun or hair drier before you take it inside and stick it on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3db7QX9KWI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nms9o1lV ... re=related |

It is not difficult at all to remove the side windows on these cars. You would have the best results doing just that. |

When I worked at a stereo shop that did tint, we had a guy that worked for lumar (best tint on the market) fly in from Texas to teach us. He used my 2000 Camaro as an example. He was able to peerfectly form the tint to the back hatch with no heat or powder. I couldn't believe it. The dude had skill!

Tint is one of those things I'll pay to have someone else do. I paid $200 for 5 windows which is a lot but it's perfect and I see it everyday. |
