Where you located at? I am located in oklahoma.. Just had mine done a week ago from a guy who also tinted the windows on my 97'Z28 when I bought it new.. He is very good and did a awesome job on my vette He said, "you just have to take alot of time and patience.." Alot more difficult because of the shape but as long as they allow for some extra time you should be fine.

Make sure you get a very experienced installer - one who knows how to black out the dot matrix at the top so you don't get white areas around the dots. It takes a lot of work with a heat gun to get it work but again, someone with experience can handle it with no problems.

I've seen LOTS of cars with the dots messed up on the rear window top and only a very few that looked right. I would get the tinter to give you a reference with someone who got their C6 rear's done and look for yourself. Lots of places claim that can do it and few seem to demonstrate it. YMMV.
I can tell you a couple of them to stay away from in the Houston area if you need. Hit me with a PM.

Like the previous posters said you need to find someone that knows how to do tint...it was done to my C6 before I bought it and was done well, will need it next summer when it gets in the 110's.

Definitely agree with the others.... Make sure you get an experienced installer. The rear window is very long and has an odd shape. It took my installer twice to do the job right, and I had to return twice for him to remove some minor air bubbles, but I am satisfied with the job.
Keep in mind the tint could effect the light sensor that darkens the rear view and driver's side mirror when someone is behind you with their headlights on. I am assuming the sensor is on the rear view mirror.
