I don't really want tint in my car, but if it helps keep the sun and high temps at bay, I would do it. The dark paint with dark interior and big horizontal rear window really do make it tough to keep the occupants from melting.

What I am thinking of is a tint of about 50% light transmissibility, which is a pretty light tint. The manufacturer claims 43% heat rejection. I don't really want to go any darker, as the gangsta look is not what I'm looking for.

What is the opinion of readers here? Is this a dumb idea? Will it actually help or do not very much at all?
Any thoughts about upgrading your A/C, considering the legal issues?

pm me for details of our upgrade.

Good luck,

Gerry
