Nice. I was going to order after following your link and saw this message posted on the sale page:

"This seller is currently away until September 4, 2012, and is not processing orders at this time. You can add this item to your watch list to purchase later"

2012???

Should I still place my order? 2012???

no huge gaps it fits pretty much the size of the window... its off like 1/8" on one side and that is my fault since its a peel and stick its hard to judge the size of where to line it up when doing it by your self... its easy to put on by your self but when lining it up its best to have some one hold it on the other side while you hold it across the way so you can judge where to start sticking it

oh yea super easy to apply just cleaned the back window... used the alchohol swipe they provided then the adheisive promoter removed the cover of the 3M double face tape and start taping it to the window and curving it to fit the windows shape... took me about 10 minutes in all

Give it a few months and it will shrink. I bought one back when the vendor first brought them out. Color match was very good and I liked how subtle the look was, as well.
I used the primer to apply it with the provided tape, but the ends have since come up on both sides (I expected this--that location catches a lot of dirt).
I read a while back of another member complaining of his shrinking. Went out and checked mine and sure as shit, there were large gaps on the sides. I took install pics, but I don't have current pics. Will try to post up as soon as I can.
I plan to remove it, take off the tape and reinstall with Window Weld or similar, but I guess it depends on whether it really shrank or just shifted a bit on the glass.

take a few pics id like to see it i hope it doesnt shrink but if it does oh well i guess... i expect the tape to start to lift at the edge adventually from water and stuff figued id have to adventually use something more agressive down the road but so far its stickin really good!
