About $60.00 is right. Ford part #8R3Z-6321456-A (Pass. side) and #8R3Z-6321457-A (Drivers side). I put these on my 07 GT in about 20 min. Easy upgrade!!

Does the moleskin come in long strips to run the whole length of the Wx stripping?

i have 4-5% all around, on all 4 windows plus back window. I love the look of it. Place that did it guarenteed it for life of the car, anything happens they will redo it for free.

Had mine for mabye 3/4 of a year tinted, and i've only had a few slight bubbles that are visible from inside the car. From outside the car it looks very nice, and keeps prying eyes out of my car.

Edit: Would like to mention i have hold of a doctors excuse that allows for a "sun barrier" which is why i can legally get away with the 5% tint. I was told it was 5% when tinted but when a cop scanned it with the window thing it showed as 4%.

Quick question, I have an 07 which didn't come with the weather strips, and got streaks when I tinted my window. Would getting the moleskin or weather strips fix the streaks, or do I have to get new windows?

I'd say you need to get the windows retinted. Take the streaky stuff off and put the new stuff on.

Disregard... I wasn't thinking. I checked and the WX stripping on my 09 has the felt. Thanks.

because when the tint shops put on ur tint they spray the crap out of the window w/ a soapy solution which could get in behind your moleskin loosen it and expose the glue used 2 hold the moleskin...this will get all over ur tints and make u huge mess...
