Default tint rear window

I have an 01 s2k. I really want to get my windows tinted. I have the plastic window in the back. Is that pretty much impossible to tint??? I just think it would look pretty stupid with having my sides done but not my back....

I'm not sure where you can buy it but a guy I knew had an MY00 S and he bought some kind of tint for the plastic window. Its a film and it adheres by using static cling. Not much else info but it also cuts down on scratchs to the window when folded down.

Static cling window tint works really well for the rear plastic window. You can pick it up at places like Lowes, Walmart, Home Depot. Have applied mine 2 years ago without any problems. Check this link

yeah, thats what i did as well.. static cling. Apply it like you would apply any other tint, but on the outside instead of the inside.

so i pulled the aluminum foil out of the container in the kitcen and im sure itll be wide enough 75 sqft but the height? I think the height of the foil could be smaller than my window, im gonna go over and check. Is this what you guys used? foil to measure? and the cling is at home depot?
