  1. Ok, I've done a few of these now and have to say on the whole they are pretty easy. On the hatch I don't bother to disassemble to pull the spoiler I just tack with a horizontal line instead of an H-pattern and bump the film down so I can shrink the top first, then bump up to shrink the bottom. Granted that's using a plotter cut pattern, if you're hand cutting you'll need to remove the spoiler. The doors are cake other than the 1/4 windows which are worse up front than the rear. Remove the 7mm screw behind the handle then pull the top of the panel straight back and the sweep comes right out. On the 1/4s I recommend cutting your pattern exact, the seals are basically bonded to the glass on two sides, if you're using a plotter be prepared to trim your film. Access on the front 1/4 sucks due to the upper trim on the door, hasn't been enough of an issue for me to look into R&I-ing it though. @no ma'am here's the detailed shots you asked for.

  2. Haven't had any issues with the side door latch. As far as the back glass a Titan does a pretty good job if you don't have large hands, I've seen someone take an old bulldozer cut it and lengthen the handle of a new one to get it to reach. If you pull the deck you gain all the access you need but you have to tear out half the interior to do it and you have to be super careful not to knock the defroster tabs off or puncture a speaker...ask me how I know...

    It is not that high, but too high IMO considering the brand name is not known, limited amount of dealers, and no history.  You could actually pay a little more and get Huper Ceramic with the brand name recognition, quality, and reputation.  3M has an IR film coming out this year that I am sure will be less than that.

    Really? That's the first I've heard of it, may have to talk to my rep, is it going to fill the gap between CS and CR?
