I fitted a set to my 9-5.  Just the rear bits.  But with my ageing eyes, I found that it was difficult to see through the three-quarter view over my shoulder, especially in twilight.  So I sold the set on.

The fit was really good, and it was easy to fit.  Just use some soft gloves to avoid fingermarks on the side next to the glass which you can't clean off once the panel is in place. 

I only fitted the the rear screen, the rear side windows in the estate and the "quarterlight" bits in the rear doors.  If you fit the panels over the windows in the rear doors, you won't be able to open them, but with a solid sheet of plastic in place, there's no point in opening the window!

My photos are from 8 years ago.  I thonk they may have a choice of colours and/or tint level now.
