Default 08 Owners with Tint, quick question....

Trying to determine if the factory did in fact correct the issue with lack of moleskin, or some sort of protection. Anybody had their tint done without the addition of moleskin? Any issues with scratching?


Thx,
Mike

well I've owned a 2006 4.0 mustang and now I have the '08 GT and both have had tint put on. with the '08 the scratches are alot less aparent. there are a couple very fine scratches but its nowhere near as bad as my '06 was. so to say the problem is completley fixed I will have to go with no, but It's a hell of alot better

So there is a moleskin type surface that is visible on the new ones?

How much did that run you? I assume it is easier than buying moleskin and installing them.
