I have the Lumar in my van..did the install myself about 3yrs ago.  It has
performed as advertised and has stood up well.  It did turn somewhat
reflective over time, when viewed from outside the van.  You can 'tear' it
if you strike it with a sharp hard object, but not easily.  Pretty good
stuff.  You might want to check your Guvvy Vehicle regulations and make sure
you aren't going to have cop-problems if your film should start to appear
reflective from outside....I understand Utah is is very militant about
having shiny opaque windows on a vehicle...Mine haven't gone totally
'silver' looking but they do have that 'look'.
