Those who've had windshields replaced - help me rate this job

Windshield protection film does exist, and I was sorely tempted to do so as I needed my clear windshield tint redone and the shop I used offers it. However, I was not sold on the ROI, as I was quoted around $800 for installation, and the life expectancy of the film is two-to-four years.

For a weekend-only Type R that's constantly garaged, it's fine. For a daily-driven base model Civic, I'll take my chances.

$800? That's a bit steep. I had my windshield PPF'd for $399. Just like OP, as someone who has had their windshield replaced on a previous vehicle and the quality was spotty, I think its well worth it to keep the OEM windshield protected.

I need to find another shop...

It's all relative. If I had an FL5 that was a weekend toy, I'm all for it (not to say that there aren't daily-driven Type Rs). However, as a base model Civic owner, I'm having a hard time on ROI.
