Dark as described. Can still see through from the outside in. Inside it looks like it's raining outside all the time. Apply in 4 hands according to the instructions. A few weeks later, there are still many small blisters. I don't give a damn, my wife is pissed. Thick film, sticky backing, dampen windows and film before application, use the small blade provided to remove bubbles, trim edges. quality product. It is difficult to get good application over a large area. YOUR CHOICE. Update: It's…

Cons

Works well but the installation guide is very weak.

Works well for cutting heat, but installation is very difficult due to the ridiculous brevity of the instructions. Luckily I found a comment on Utube that explains the "how" AND "why". Before applying the film, the window should be cleaned and scraped with a razor blade to remove anything that may get caught under the film. The film is wetted on both sides to eliminate static cling that would infuriate even the Dali Lama. The surface to which the film will be applied will be wetted to allow you

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Some nuance

Relentless Bubbles

Update 3/2017: The bubbles eventually disappeared, but I didn't know when. So no more rain. Still, I wouldn't recommend it unless you can live with a rainy window for at least a couple of weeks. A week has passed but there are still tiny bubbles under the foil. In comparison, another popular brand has even large blisters that disappear within a day or two. The first foils of this brand that I glued many years ago are still holding up well and have no bubbles! I took the scraps of foil from back

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
