either that or buy the kit at crappy tire as it comes with everything to prevent you from screwing it up lol... I think it's like $25 ??

A friend and I were trying to tint the windows on his ZX5 with the CanTire stuff.. After a couple tries we got the side windows and the triangle windows looking pretty good, but the back window was really hard with the curve in it. We ended up just tearing all of it out and he was going to get it done by a pro.

It's definitely tricky stuff to work with, and really easy to ruin the piece you're trying to install.
