Snaptint.com
It will only cost you around 90$ for all the windows. High quality lumar w/ lifetime guarantee.
Only trouble you may run into is doing the rear window. Make sure you follow their directions on that one and everything should run smoothly.
GL!

Thanks! I don't care about tinting the rear window. I just want to tint the side windows. Do you have any advice on how to put it on without removing the side door?

tint-pro sell precut films on eBay with good quality tint for cheap if you want (under $40). Since you only do the side windows, so there is nothing to worry because they can easily remove when needed. I recommend you not to buy expensive products at first because you may throw it away anyway (I success on the 3rd piece). Beware with xtremecity seller, thousands feedback but bad quality. You don't need to remove the door panel to install the film tint. But when you install the felt ( $5 moleskin), you may have or you can get a kit for $30 to install it without remove the door panel. Get that kit from the sticky threat and sale me after used

If you only need the 4 side windows it will cost around 40-50$. So if i were you i would get them from snaptint.com, enter friends10 for the coupon code, and save your time with high quality tints.
Just make sure that when you put them on your in a garage and dont forget to squeegee ever last bit of water out of the corners.

Applying window tint is an ART IMHO... leave that to the professionals....

How much is your time worth to you???... $50 to $60 an hour??????

You're paying $50 for material and probably gonna spend 2 to 3 hours trying to learn on your car...

I would just go to a tint place and pay $100 bucks and have it taken care of... 'cause obviously you're not concerned with quality...
