b_faulk75 got a reaction from TintDude in 2017 cruze hatchback.
Did one of these the other evening, not too bad. I do hand cut everything so this one takes a while, 9 windows, 10 if you include splitting the strip. I did figure a way to cut, shrink and install the rear without removing anything. I did a quick oversize on the outside and laid it on my peeler. Then took a liner i had in the can from the back window of a car i did the day before. Put the liner on the inside of the hatch and cut out a pattern. Then transferred that to the outside of my actual film i had laying on the peeler. Cut the upper contour exactly, then cut the sides and bottom slightly over sized. Dry shrunk and installed, had to do minor trimming on the inside but it worked pretty good. The less i have to remove the better lol...

Used a sample of the carbonfx on a boat shield. Shrank like butter, stuck like glue! Hope to try some more soon...

Forget the plotter for a while and learn to hand cut tint, trust me you will be glad you did! The plotter is faster most of the time but the quality just isn't the same IMO
If you must have a plotter, i got a used 40" plotter for $1000 and and pay $100 a month for the software if that helps. Buying new you could spend 4k to get set up, then software seems to be anywhere from $100 to $150 a month from what i've seen.

I thought I would add a couple of extra tips on this car that came to mind since I just got tinting 2 of them.
-Seals on doors easily remove out once removing 1 torx bolt per door hidden underneath the trim.
-After replacing the 3rd brake light , bend the metal tabs down slightly to make it easier to slide back into place.
- double up your mounting concentrate for bg as it floats into place much better.
- remove the side pillars for the bg foe easier installation. They come out quite easy and it's worth it for the extra wiggle room .
