I dont think it's very hard, you just need another person for some help. Idk about the back window, mine came tinted already when i got the car. Doubt it's that hard, but just need patience.

I have been wondering the same. The side windows will not be hard at all. It's the rear that is the problem. Even for people that tint on a regular basis. Some people will do the rear with one piece and others that use 2. My hold up on getting tinted is location Everyone of my cars was tinted in Fl so I just can't bring myself to pay NC prices

Yep, sides are easy, back window could be a real pain in the ***, I'd take it to a shop and go with 3M.
