that blows. you might have to go out of your county. there is good ones out there but you might have to travel and wait while they doit.
thats what promted me to teach myself how to do it. I had to drive 2 hrs away to get someone reputable. I started b.sing with the installer as i watched him do it. so when my next chance came around to do it, i got the tint and took my time.
granted i ended up doing it over but by the time i was finnished it looked sweet as hell.
Even doing 2 times; it was still cheaper than paying someone to do it and the gas and lunch it cost me.

mine was $200 with 5% 3m colorstable nation wide warranty tint. the local installer also has a 1 free accidental warranty. you break a window, scratch the tint something that is "customer caused" he will replace your first one for free. going on 4 years now and it looks almost better than the day I got it

again this can be dependaant upon where you live. i know in new orleans that the legal limit on 4dr suv's is i think 40 in the front and no limit in the rear. i have 40 on the front doors and 7% limo all the way back with like 20 on the very back hatch glass

Well i just lookd up the law for my state it says no tint allowed on drives side window and also passager side and 35% is the darkest you can go for rear windows, and for the windshield only 6" from the top of the winshield down can be tinted. And no colored tint allowed
edit: oh and I paid $330 for it, which I think is ridiculous but they did a much better job than the place that tinted my Nissan for $175.

Do you have a picture of your rear window... I was thinking of doing a limo and 20 rear...
i bought a pre cut kit off ebay 5% for 29 bucks clean your windows with non amonia cleaner and spray bottle of water and a lil soap and a squeege and you cant mess it up have done plenty of curved windows this way too my tint has never faded either that was for everywindow but the front and sunroof will take pics as i install later
