The 2 "side rear" ones (the little ones) shouldn't be too expensive, but the back one will probably cost you quite a bit. It shouldn't take but a few (5-6) hours or so and that should be the longest. Mine took about 3.5 hours to do just the rear.

damn 5% all around plus a 5% windshield banner... $195 total.... its aite tho cuz they have been on the car for almost 5 years without peeling or bubbling... i highly suggest taking it to a pro... ive seen people try and do the rear window themselves and it looked terrible... to be honest, i have no clue how the hell the tint guys even get in there to do the rear windshield.

hey trickie.. actually a friend of mine turned me onto the guy, he is a manager for a tint shop, but does tinting out of his house for extra cash.. he did an awesome job.. i'll take some pix of the tint so u can see. he also did the back window with one piece. on top of all that he guarentees his work for the life of your car=).. hes out in brighten tho, you would have to be willing to drive out there. If your interested still send me an email at glogurl@aol.com and i can get u his number=)

by the way, i didnt know you were in denver, wonder if we've met before.. u go to any of the shows this year? if so i'm sure youve seen me and my car.. just curious .. well let me know if yr still interested in the tint.

I paid 140. I have lifetime warranty. No fade, no cracking, etc. It took them about 1.5-2 hours I think. I think he hit his head and knocked my rearview mirror off and had to remount it. DOH! emoji

cost me $0.00, car came with the rear 1/3 (back 3 windows) tinted...
however, I suspect it wasn't done very well, the tint film's starting to peel around a few of the edges, mainly around a few of the defogger lines... wouldn't be surprised if it's due to the defogger. doubt there's any way to tack the stuff back up before it peels halfway off some day. all in all, though, it's got no bubbles, cuts down the glare from those damn SUVs shining their lights directly into my rear view mirror, and it attracts hot women emoji (I think my plates do too)
