Where can you buy window tinting...? And what is installation like on window tinting? Ive never actually dealt with the stuff before.
Second was I was considering removing my back seats.... Is it hard to do? bolts and screws or what?

I agree. Most DIY tints look like crap and bubble within a few years.
As for seat removal, you need to pull up on the corners of the bottom cushion. It is held in place by two clips that easily let it pop off. For the top of the rear seat, grab it firmly by the speaker grills and pull forward. It will pop out just like the bottom one, but the upper requires more force.
There is a small chance there will be two bolts also holding the rear in place; they are behind the seatbelt latch and you will need to pull on the seat to see them. If the seat has been removed before then they won't be there because they serve no real point other than being a PITA.

Don't even attempt to install tint. It's only about $200 max for a pro to do it and it will look 1000% better than DIY. We've had a thread about this before and it was nearly unanimous: Pay for the pro install.
Do you have split fold down seats?
If so, it'll take you like 10 minutes to remove them, the only bolts are the ones holding the seatbelts to the chassis.

Better yet, get the red metallic reflective tint. If your car is green, that would be so BAD ASS!
Heres a pic of my car... at the time i only had clear turn signals and rims. Ill try to get a newer picture sometime B)
