Default Scratched Side Window

In a poor attempt to remove the "safety" sticker that was placed on the inside of our NX 300 driver-side window, I managed to scratch the glass and/or the factory tint. Anyone know where I can buy a replacement window or a national company that can order and replace? I assume going through Lexus will be an arm and a leg. I can find companies that will do windshield replacement, but not side windows.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or recommendations.

Scrape the factory coating off and just tint the 2 front doors. That's what I did. You have to scrape the factory UV coating off dry, then you have a clear window.

Like many states CA has laws about how dark you can tint your windows and CA cops may be more strict on enforcing that law.

basically in CA you can't tint the front windows, but the rear can be as dark as you want. it says 70%, but from the factory you are at about 70% so...any film on it makes it darker, even a lighter film.

It's the drivers side window so legally it can't be any darker than the passenger front window. So, unless he was going to scrape the passenger side window and put a tint on so both windows would match is not worth the time or effort IMO.
