    is it hard getting it on smooth? cause cutting to fit isnt an issue...

    and do i have to take off all the door cards to do it or just slide it in?

    I will give a hand if ya want, the sides are not hard at all esp with frameless windows, the rear however tis a challenge.

    The hardest part is just getting all air bubbles and hair out. Cutting is Simple, especially with frameless windows.

    I know you guys probably arn't interested in driving up there but I got mine car done in cartersville(where I'm from) for 160 with a tint strip on the front window. This is my first post since summer I think. Fall was crazy but I'm back to my co-op job now. So much better than school.
