Precut Window Tint

Has anyone ever installed precut tint on the back window? How hard can it be?

Very, very hard. My installer said it is the one of the hardest back windows he's ever done. I certainly wouldn't try it. Especially since a good tint job costs around $250...

I would pay someone else to deal with that mess.

I know what I went thru tinting my truck's windows, and its windows are almost flat...cannot even imagine trying the back of the Vette on my own!

One of my friends is a tinter and he said the same thing. It's the hardest back window to tint. I have tinted before and this is definitely no walk in the park. It requires a lot of shrinking of the tint. I would not mess with it unless you have a lot of experiece tinting. Put the money towards finding somebody who will do it right..

You heard right...the rear hatch glass on the Corvette is extremely difficult to do properly. Even experienced window tinters have nightmares about Corvette hatch glass.

i paid $180 for some top notch 3M tint and it took 1 hour to do the whole vehicle. this place was littered with bmws, mercedes, acuras, hummers, vettes, and LARGE trucks. custom sounds said they wanted $500 and needed 8 hours to do the car.
