One piece. It's tough but can be done with care. Take it slow and easy. Shrink it on the outside first before you you install it. It tries to pop up when you install at the extreme curves. I just heat the glass and use a squeegie wrapped with a paper towel and work it. Now, I do get the glass and window rubber extremely clean before I even start. Sometimes I try to have the classics for at least a couple of days before hand so I can clean the window rubbers and glass really good. This gives the time needed for all that extra water to dry so I have less trouble with the water and dirt wicking up under the film.

Another thing you can try to get those curves to lay is to mix a little rubbing alcohol with your soap and water mix and spray those areas before you lay the tint. The alcohol helps it to dry faster and you can get ito stick. I forgot to mention that.
