I empathise with you, nothing worse then spending your hard earned cash to get S#!t in return. Only makes it worse when you've got dealers / tinters giving you the run around. Someone needs to take responsibility and it shouldn't be the ill informed consumer!Quote:

It is ironic that these high quality cars just out of Honda factory are being defaced/deflowered with things such as tinting. Just because tinting is avaliable does not make it an essential aftermarket add-on!
Think of it another way, most of us are born with a healthy body, yet a few of us prefer to augment what mother nature has given with cosmetic surgery. There is always risks with surgery, and when complications occur, you got to wear the sh*ts, it is very difficult to blame someone else.
Sometimes, less is more.;)

Then there is the concept of 'informed consent', as applied in medical field but the same principle can be applied for purchase of goods and services:
Informed consent is a medico-legal condition whereby a person can be said to have given consent based upon an appreciation and understanding of the facts and implications of an action. In the United States, Australia, and Canada, informed consent in these jurisdictions requires that significant risks be disclosed, as well as risks which would be of particular importance to that patient. This approach combines an objective (the reasonable patient) and subjective (this particular patient) approach.
The moral of the story? Do you research before buying (be informed) and be buyer beware! You are responsible for your actions.
I have always said deflowering a Euro is the worst thing you can do... joke joke... Nice one Mastcell.:thumbsup: I don't agree with what you say about tinting - but I like the way you write.Quote:

Huh? What do you mean by 'copied'? The 'primum non nocere' post is an original. The 'Caveat Emptor' and 'Informed Consent' post is extracted from Wikipedia, and modified to suit this thread. It cannot be considered plagiarism as the intent of my post is completely different to the original Wikipedia articles. Further, this is an informal forum and I don't think it is necessary to quote references.Quote:

i want mine tinted (prob a little darker than legal if possible) but would like a tinter who is willing to work with me to ensure i have no scratches
I got my euro tinted by this mobile tinter which means he comes to you. he's a nice guy and did a pretty good job and the prices are quite fair. i can give you his details if you want
Had to get passenger window retinted today as it was scratched, no big deal only took an hour these lifetime waranties are the bees knees
I've had felt on my front windows put in but I noticed the other day the drivers side has scratched again. Not as deep but still a couple scratches. I should have gone to the tint place I'd always gone to years before that, never had an issue. Ah well.
I've now joined the scratched tint club.4 scratches all the way down drivers front window.:(.spoke to tinter,they will replace tint.:thumbsup:
