Im looking to install window tints in the mustang. Im confident I can do the process myself. I am looking for a place that sells good quality, precut section, for a decent price. Anyone have any suggestions?

Never buy the pre cut stuff! It never works right. Buy the 3M brand window film (it's hard to beat), cut it a little big, and use LOTS of soapy water to apply it. That's what people usually screw up on, they're afraid to use too much water. If you want to make it really easy on yourself, go to a hobby store that sells stuff for RC planes and find one of these.

Top Flite MonoKote SmartCut Trim Tool

It's a tool for trimming the plastic film modelers use to cover airplane wings. It's cheap, easy to use, and it makes a perfect cut every time.

Of course, that's only going to help on the front windows. It's the back glass that's a witch. You might ask a shop how much to do just the back window, but if you insist on doing it yourself then I always had the best luck with the 3M kit that's cut into 5" strips.

Do not install tint on your Stang until you do this..... Tint Protector Automotive Anti-Scratch Window Tint Kits Made With MoleSkin
If you do not use this....your tint will look like **** in no time. Dirt gets trapped in the rubber weather stripping and it causes scratches on the tint.

Depends ... If you've got a 2008 you don't need it. They changed the seals on the 2008s+.

They will, but if I remember correctly they are a little pricey. $60 maybe?

Correct, they should work just fine, nothing has been changed to effect it as far as I know.

Yeah, the '08 door weatherstrip will fit '05-'07 cars and they are easy to swap out.
