Very hard to do, if it's your first time guarenteed you will make a big mess of the rear window, the side ones arent particulally hard to do to be honest.

my brother did mine on my corsa you need a lot of paitents to do it as trying to get the bubbles out can be a nightmare, he used to use a squeegy and soapy water and a hot air gun but dont hold it in 1 place or too close as it will melt the window film.

on the rear window because of its size people do it in 3 sections by placing it on and cutting along the rear heater wire (but dont cut though it lol). if you are going to do the rear window make sure you leave it for a bit because when u put the other peice on and start messing with it you might get bubbles in the other peice you have just done

if you are goin to do it make sure the windows are clean, then when putting the film on wet both the window and the film also you could do with 2 people when putting it on the window to stop it from creasing

heres a pic of mine what he did for me





there are more pictures in my garage

hope it hepls you

Yes, film that cheap will be shit. Go to a tinting company and ask them to cut it for you and you apply it, will be expensive but cheaper than them fitting it and will be far better than Halfrauds stuff.

Fitted to about 15 cars, just practice, buy a load of cheap stuff off the net and do it to mates cars for free. Not easy but not impossible to get looking good tbh
