It's nice to be in a state that has few restrictions. Mirror all the way around.
My advise, take it to a shop. Honda's has the worst curved window that i've had to deal with.

i'm guessin u've never seen it done. I would also get it done professionally.

I did the front/top strip on the windshield myself and I couldn't imagine doing the other windows.

I went to a shop. Most shops will give you a lifetime warranty on the work and on the tint, so it's pretty much worth it .

Get it done at shop.
Even if you did a good job, you don't know how good your quality of the tint film is. It looks ugly when it fades and turn into purple/Blue.

Most shops will offer life-time warranty.

^ purple tint is so 90's I did mine and I made sure to purchase sheets of REAL METALALIC charcoal film (this is the same quality tint the pro's use). Most tint manufactureres don't sell that purple crap n e more.

But not only is it a good idea to get it done because of the waranty, its also the cost. It's rather cheap to get it done ($100 - 175 for a coupe) but the film that you buy to DIY is like $15 a sheet and that only covers one side or the rear windshield. Your gonna spend $45 and if you've never done it, your gonna re-do most of it. Which means spending another $15 per sheet. It could total $90 if you re-do the whole thing (like most people end up doing) So it's not really worth it. Plus you'll never get pro-quality unless youve done it before.
