Window Tinting !!!

Is it better to have the RRS tinted upto post b at the factory at new, and then get pentagon autoglass to finish off the drivers/front passenger windows. Or get it all tinted by Pentagon ...any ideas anyone ????

The factory privacy glass is a better job than an aftermarket tint. For example, the diversity aerial is hidden away well with the factory glass, but appears glaringly through aftermarket tint. If you do a search of the forum, people have previously posted side-by-side pics of both.

That said, Pentagon are very well regarded and will do an excellent job of your front windows.

Not many people agree with me here but I think the factory tint is to dark and looks I'd have pentagon to do the lot. Mine was done after and I think looks grrrrrrrrrreat

see what i mean they all think the factory are the best, if you want to drive around with black glass then go for the factory. If you want nice cool looking window tint go for the aftermaket

I like the rear window factory fitted - all I need is some hooligan to etch his name on my current window so that I can claim for a factory tint on insurance! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Is the factory tint midnight rear and light smoke front which in their options LR refer to as privacy glass, or would I have to have additional tinting down to this

Had our rear doors/raer screen done by Pentagon and top class job.

However, I think factory is better JUST TO ANNOY MISERY!!

BTW, have they been approached to be a site sponsor? Missing a trick there me thinks! Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

But isn't the factory fit actual dark glass as opposed to a film?

If so, it will surely be more durable/scratch proof.

It is - which is why it will always look better than an aftermarket tint!
