Window Tinting:- Durability?
Both myself and my sister have been thinking about getting our windows tinted, but have a question about how well it wears i.e. is it easily scratched?, as it is only a film after all!.
One query aswell, if you were to buy a brand new £80k luxury car and have tinted windows as a optional extra, would it still be a tinting film, or are they some how made within the glass?, so what I'm getting at is, " is tinting film just the cheap way?".
As always, show off your cars with tinted windows if you please!
Thanks
Daz.

I got mine done at AutoAsylum in Maidenhead - £290 for 5 windows. Had 4 of my family's cars done by them now. Excellent work - it is a film - but not your cheap Halfords stuff.

Well we've found a place that will do both our cars for a discount. Its only 5mins up the road where I live. My sis has a Focus 3dr, she's been quoted £175 for x5 windows to be done, I'm guessing It'll be similar money for my Impreza.
What degree of tint would you all recommend?

Think I went for 60% on the backs doors and 40% on the rear screen, from the outside you cannot tell the difference in the darkness but rear view visability is pretty good using the 40%.
