I never claimed im a pro I just said im learning my way up

Let a pro do it, you sound pretty @nal so dont do it yourself. Most everyone here are pros so we make it look and sound easy, trust me , its not.

If you do it yourself you will never be happy, unless your so self absorbed everything you do is perfect. :beer

Just kidding with ya, my point is simple those easy doors are nothing compared to a full vehicle, but the 2-dr civic is very simple and you will still need to LEARN how to heat shrink. :dunno

you would be right if I was that kinda of person of " oh let me try it .... oh this is not for me " kinda of person but im like hmm I did it wrong ok try it again and again.... so thas what sets me apart, and yes I know this car has to be simple that why I want to try it and I want ideals of other tinters since they are so expercied as they say , as where I am not..... as for the shrinking method yes someday I have to learn it ,

someday is the day you tint your car, because you HAVE to shrink the rear. the answer to question 2 is sure leave the decals on the window if you like that look. personally, they tend to have a ring-around -the-sticker look to me

question 3- the dot matrix on that car needs to be scrubbed to get them to lay perfect.

question 1- clean it till you think it is clean enough. then after it is tinted and there is contamination, you know you should have cleaned it better.

theres my buck fiddy worth helps.

now have the rear PROFESSIONALLY done!!! just my opinion

Okay I dont want to come off as a a-hole..But dang it man have fun with the side windows when you done and satisfied with your job go ahead spend another 40-80 in some more tint and tack the "easy" back glass...Now that you've wasted 120 or more dollars rip it all off and go pay a professional to redo the whole thing for you ;)....
