I would leave it up to a professional. Find a shop that will give you a warrenty and that can tint the whole back window with one piece, not strips. It'll turn out much better and be well worth the money in my opinion.

had my car done by a shop... never regretted it. I'm sure its a major pain in the ***... i'd only reccomend doing it if you've got a good amount of experience under your belt...
just pay someone to do it . That way they can do it in one piece and do it right . I had to go to two places to find someone that would do it in one piece. The first place said they would do it for 80 and they guy just couldnt do it . He said it was the first car he ever turned down in 15 years of work. So i went to another place down the road about 8 miles and they did it for 150 and he said it was the hardest he every did . Usually they like to use two pieces and put the seam on the defroster line. But i dont have defroster so they were forced to do it my way and in 1 big piece . It came out perfect . But just look around and you get what you pay for .

All the places around where I live wanted 200 for the back and another 75 for the sides.
I ended up doing it myself for 40. It took me a week to do the back window with the rear defrost. Only took 15 minutes per side window.
If you have more time than money I say do it yourself. It's only time!

take it to a pro for the rear window, and make them do it in 1 big peice!
As for the side windows, you can do those yourself.
