Anyone ever order pre-cut window tint for their C3? If so, which one? There are plenty out there.

I did get a price on a mobil tinting company. $250-$350 depending on product. I though that was crazy. But I haven't had a car tinted in years.

Pay the man. I had the rear window of my 78 out of the car and decided I would try and put the film on it myself. In theory it could not have been any easier. Sitting on the bench, the window upside down with me standing up and able to move all around. It was almost impossible to do and get a good result. I cannot imagine doing it in the car, laying on my back. Think about ti, you try and do it, it comes out terrible and you still have to pay the man. Eliminate the middle man and just do it. You will be much happier.

If I had the rear window you're talking about I would. But a 76 is a small flat window.
