Windshield protection

For those who have the outside protection film, where did you buy? Did you install it yourself?

I am not familiar with outside protection film, but I do have UV film installed on the interior of my windshield. It was done at a tint shop along with some vinyl wrap tidbits. It is barely noticeable from the inside or the outside, with just a hint of tint. There are different levels of tint available. I did it to protect the inside and dash from UV rays and reduce the heat level during the summer months.

Interesting. I was actually also wondering if UV protection with no (or very little) tint existed since in California it’s illegal to have tinted windshield. Good to know shops have it. Can you post a pic?

As for the outside film, I’m looking for rock chip protection. Similar to paint protection films people but on the body.
