Keep the window seals clean and there wont be any scratches. At least not for a while. I dont even have the streaks that you see going straight up and down that will usually wipe off.

Wow, that looks really dark for 35. What brand tint did you go with?

I actually just walked in the door from getting my 06 tinted. I'm crossing my fingers on the scratches as well.

Looks great! I had my 06 PWP done in 35% (3M Color Stable). It charcoal and 3M supposedly uses carbon instead of metal particles in the CS line. I guess being against that white is what really makes it look darker.

Did they install the moleskin to prevent scratches?

Keep us updated on the scratching and nav issues associated with tinting.

Got mine tinted with the madico tints about 2 months ago. No scratches so far and i roll my windows down a few times a week.
Not even streaks to hint future scratching. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Your tint looks great! Perhaps it looks darker against the PWP. I also have the 35% all around, but with Johnson's Silouette's. I've had mine about 6 months now and no scratches.

^^^ the inside of the TSX door panels scratch the film.

The car looks good

I use to think the darker the better, but lately all the 35% jobs I do have been lookin pretty sharp. Anything darler than 35% males it harder to see out at night.

You don't get scratches from tint. The TINT can be scratched........
