I had all the middle and read side windows and rear hatch window done on my Westy. I went to a professional outfit (Rocky-mountain window tint in Concord, CA.) and got the metalisized lifetime-gaurantee window film. Cost was about $250 and unless you look close - you can't tell it from factory dark tinting.

It makes a huge difference in the summer - and particularly helps the A/C when driving. Outward visibility is reduced, but not as much as you would think.

So far - two years, it still looks brand new. No bubbles, marks, scratches.

Todd Last '88 Westy.
