How do you tint car windows?

I'm interested in tinting my Mustang windows. Can I do this myself using a standard tint?

“Adding a tint to your windows is a great way to modify your Mustang and add some mystery to your vehicle as long as your state allows window tinting.
If it does, installing window tints is a fairly straightforward process. To start, you’ll need the following supplies:
  • Tint film
  • Spray bottle with a dish soap and water mixture
  • Microfiber or lint-free cloth
  • Razor blade
  • Scotch tape
  • Squeegee
After you gather your supplies, follow these steps:
  • Clean your windows thoroughly by spraying your dish soap mixture on the window.
  • Use a razor blade to scrape away all the dirt and grime. Make sure you clean both sides of the window.
  • Dry the window with a clean, no-lint rag.
  • Roll your windows up.
  • Cut and measure the tint film to fit your windows.
  • Take two pieces of tape and stick them in the corner of the tint film. The sticky sides should face each other.
  • Slowly pull them apart to reveal the adhesive side of the tint film.
  • Stick the adhesive side of the film to the inside of the window.
  • After you have the film in place, squeegee out the bubbles.
  • Trim any excess tint with the razor.
Once you’ve completed these steps on all four windows, you will have a Mustang with tinted windows! Since car modifications can make your vehicle more susceptible to theft, be sure to have a good
