Step 1. Before DIY
Tinting a car is a bit of an art and takes many hours to master. Some cars are harder than others and some are very hard to install, all have their own quirks so We would recommend that You have your car installed by a professional.
There are some excellent sites offering advise on DIY Tinting and we would recommend You do some research if you want to DIY your tint.
If you feel you can install your own vehicle and save on the cost of an installer.

We cannot replace film damaged by the install process.
Step 2. Apply the Film
Identify the piece of window film that matches the window, remember
window film is installed on the inside of the window. Remove the clear backing
on the film to expose the adhesive, be careful not to crease or damage the film.
Wet both the adhesive surface of the film as well as the inside
surface of the window with the same soapy solution.
Move the film into position inside the window,
being careful not to let the film get creased or doubled over onto itself.
The film should adhere to the glass fairly well with the soapy solution.
You may want to temporarily tape the corners for added holding while you
apply the tint to the glass. Spray the film once again with soapy solution.
Step 3. Remove Excess Water
Use the squeegee to remove the soapy water and all bubbles from
underneath the film while simultaneously smoothing the film onto the glass.
Take your time and be careful and methodical for this step. Do
not press so hard with your squeegee that you stretch the film. Remove bubbles by
squeegee them gently to the edge and release them.
You are Finished!
Keep windows rolled up for at least three days to allow
for full curing. The film may appear foggy, but this will clear up
at the end of the curing process. Only use mild soap to clean
window film, never use hard abrasives or chemicals.
