Just another idea, last summer i was thinking on
having a sign shop apply this stuff called
"window-perf" which is perforated vinyl thats printed
and applied to the outside of the windows/body. (its
sticky back vinyl with little holes in it) It comes in
plain white and can be printed any color. The shop
owner had his company Range Rover covered with this
stuff+all over the windows the (vinyl is printed with
graphics) Ive heard this stuff does keep the inside
cooler although it reduses visability when driving. I
have an all white westy and i was thinking about
putting plain white window perf on the rear windows.
He quoted me $100 for all the windows from the
driver/pass back(installed but un-printed)
