Getting privacy glass done today to the rear windows, will post some before and afters.

Hunted around and prices ranged from £500 to £170, friend recommended a place and had his done, so will be going with the £170 which I think is very cheap.

I think the privacy really suits the FL2 particularly mine which is Sumatra Black

Please can you advise which company is doing the window tints.

My old Honda had the film tints, not bad reasonably priced (£200) compared to factory fitted glass (£400) but I had to have one of the back windows re-tinted three times, once becaused it bubbled (after 6 weeks, caused by a spec of dirt being trapped during the film being applied), and the other two times because the kids damaged the film!!

Would not be without priacy glass but this time arround I would of been happy to pay extra for the glass rather than a film, due to the ease that the film can get damaged (runs to the local tip, kids etc) and also a chap I work with had a window damaged and his insurance company only paid for the replacement glass to be fitted and not the film, claiming that it was not a standard fit.

Local company, wont travel to Lancashire.

Would totally agree with your comments on the privacy glass, but car did not come with this when purchased.

Apart from the usual `scratching` and affixing problems associated with film privacy glass, factory fitted privacy glass shows the orange heater elements on the side and rear windows dulled, ie, they are not so visible, whereas with the film the heater elements appear as bright orange stripes. I prefer the factory fitted privacy glass, and opted for a two month wait because of this. But hey, it (should) arrive a month on saturday.

Pentagon glass tints are meant to be amongst the best after-market tints, only trouble is despite e-mailling them for a quote 3 times they have never replyed to me

Isn't it Pentagon which is also a security film, I wanted to go for this rather than factory fit for security reasons. I will try them as well, and see if I can get a reply.

privacy glass its the best thing since the wheel (picture this) just sitting there waiting for the wife to come out from shopping your sitting there reading the paper but in your rearview mirror you can see a couple with the kids looking at your baby .... but they dont know you are inside and then.............he comes up to have a look at the speedometer as men do. as he comes up to your window you press the lock button and the mirrors close he he he he.......am i really that sad go on try it

Can't see bright orange strips on mine, in fact you can't see anything, only got the medium tint as well which looks exactely like the factory glass...chuffed with mine and a bargain at £170

That might be considered dangerous by some! Do you need a guide dog to pull the car now then?

Funny that, ha !!

Maybe Nightfox had this dark tint on his windscreen when he drove into a ditch of water
