at least if it's done professionally you can get them to do it again if its shit, whereas if you DIY you could go through LOADS of tint film before it looks right.
Got mine done the other week, 50% on the front and 100% on the rears.

Me and my mate tinted windows with self tint stuff, if you can get the glass right out, and use some fairy liquad, to get it correct, with enough time it comes out not to bad.
Back windows are impossible though!

my brother did mine for me on my other cars it takes a lot of patience to do it what he used to do is wet the window film and the window when putting it on and he used a squeegy and a hot air gun or you can use a hair dryer but dont hold it 2 close because it will melt the film
on the rear window he used to put it in about 2 or 3 peices he used to cut it along the heated lines so once its all on you cant see the joins if you did try the back window i would let the peices dry before you put the other peice on because you may get all the bubbles out of the first peice then put the new peice on and gt bubbles in it
