Have been putting it on cars for years. Never done a stang but am going to. Have it done by a pro. It will last for years with simple care. Have had it for 5 years each on a couple vans. Have dark tint on my current car. It looks good and offers privacy. Don't know your laws but check them first. Funny! I had factory smoked dark glass on a Dodge van and the cop gave me a ticket! Produced the window sticker and his shift commander made him void the ticket.

I agree with mellow, if you've never done it before your chance of having bubbles is greatly increased. And if you go somewhere to have it done, they SHOULD be able to give you an idea of what the laws are in your state about the tinting.

Brian,
the back window on my yellow coupe was tinted lime black. Looks good but a little tough to see out of at night. Was fine while I was living in Florida though. You can take a look at it this weekend, I;m planning on having the motor out by Saturday night. You can pick it up on Sunday if you like.Ken

We have to use a VADOT approved aftermarket tint.
