I do not know what gen Monte you have but if you have a newer one like a 5th or 6th gen - it would probably be quite difficult to get the film on the back window because of the slope of it. I would look in the yellow pages and call around to some shops in your area to get a quote. If it were me, I would have a professional do it. I had an 06 Mini Cooper S’s windows tinted (which is an easy car to do because it is a hatchback) and I got it done professionally.

Monte Of The Month -- April 2011

i live in pa and it can be as dark as you want as long as you can see in on one of the side windows like driver you are fine. I would recomend getting it professionly done. I have 20% in the back areas and in the 2 front windows i have 35% and it looks good I also had the front windsheild strip put on and it realy helps

Have a professional do it!
Heres a tip- Clean the windows, that your going to have tinted, very thoroughly the day before you get em tinted. I did a nice wash the day before and the installer commented on how clean my Monte was. It makes it a lil easier for em to work and who doesnt want someone complementing em on their sweet MC.
Go STEELERS!!!!, hope your a pitt fan lol
