I did the pre-cut off ebay for my rear window... It was awesome. Only thing I had to do was cut around the rear slider latch, which was simple enough. The one thing I would do differently would be to have ordered the side windows, too! Oh well, live and learn. I may be doing that in the future. I should also note that the tint itself is pretty good quality. I've had mine on for about 2 years and no fading or discoloring. Couldn't be happier!

Damageinc, like I said, it was about 2 years ago... I don't really recall who I went through... I remember it was pretty painless and cheap though. I wish I could remember as I'd order some for my side windows also! Hmmm... I'll look into it. One thing though, it ships in a poster tube. Before you go to install it, inspect it, especially the edges to make sure they are not crunched up (wrinkled) from rough shipping. If you see that it is, and don't install it, they will usually refund it for you.
If I can't find out who I bought from, my advice would be to pick the one with the best feedback... You may pay a few dollars more, but consider it added insurance in case there is a problem.
Also, if you buy, let me know how the transaction goes and who you used -- I may be using them soon as well

i have been looking for some for my back window as well. i tried to do it myself, and it was a little bit of a pain. but the rear sides were a breeze.... i just took the windows completely off, and bought some from walmart. then i just installed a whole sheet, and after it dried a couple days, did the cut outs. im real happy with those, but i would like to re-do the rear.

Well....I can tell you not to order from this guy.....
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8051358895&sspagename= ADME%3AB%3ARTQ%3AUS%3A1
I ordered and sent payment on April 26 through pay-pal and just did get an e-mail from him saying it was shipping today May 6. His listing says you will receive item in 4 to 7 business days. I noticed his feedback rating has went down recently, it was good when I ordered. Just hope when it gets here it will be good tint.

Rambo, that's the same problem I had buying from ebay... I got my frist set of precut for my back window... that went very well, and looks great too... Then I ordered from the same person again and he just took my money and ran.
If you can manage to get some precut stuff, I'd say that's anyone's best bet. If you can't, my recommendation would be to spend the real money and get the real tint... Something like Llumar tint... It's very high quality and popular amongst the owners of BMW and Mercedes. I might be having mine done over with all Llumar this summer, assuming the cost isn't too outrageous.
Good luck everyone using ebay. If you do find someone willing to stand behind their product, post here... It seems there are quite a few interested.
Matt D... How'd you take the glass out of the doors? That would make the process A LOT easier
