Good luck with tint or vinyl, the side windows are slightly convex/concave so either need to use a heat gun to pre shape the film (have a look on YouTube) or cut it to size the cut it half and apply it as 2 pieces otherwise you'll always get air bubbles, believe me I tried and wasted a lot of film.

I've seen a few commercial type 4x4 with vinyl in rear windows! And looks spot on!

You can't knock the price either might cost tops £150 and that's going off what the rear three windows on a typical car would cost to tint. But in your case vinyl.

I got my back 3 tinted professionaly for £80 just shows its who you know not what you know ;)

heat gun on a low heat use a credit card or similar to smooth it out,start from the middle and work out. Im not sure if you use water or not when applying vinyl but im sure theres vids on youtube showing how to do it.
