I think the hardest part of the whole evolution is cutting the tint. Works like a charm though. Make sure to put something soft in the well.

I've had this since 2001... You tint on the outside. Since the top material overlaps the window a lot, your cuts dont have to be that great even.

I'm only on my second piece since 2001. Anyone who has seen my car knows my plastic window is pristine as it gets for OEM.

We (Sandy and I...okay Sandy) did my old rear '01 window after seeing Keith's at the old Wei-Shen Real Deal Super Meets back in the day. As he says, it works like a charm and a real cheap fix to not only tinting the rear window but protecting the plastic. Like jesusphish said, throw something soft in the well too though. I used to have an old black towel back there. Did the job at no cost.

Yes, I did mine too, Back in 2002, still the same piece... Very easy to do if you install in on the outside not the inside...

You can get it at lowes or home depot or auto parts store. I believe you can get 5% but am noy completely sure.
