Here's another good one, just for measure. Lol! When the wife backs the car out of the driveway, all I can see is her fingers on the steering wheel. Nothing else... I think it's sick!

Lol!!! Once you try it you might have a change of heart. I was initially against it but then decided to go wtih Air Blue 80 after seeing that it in person on their window samples with tint on them. There is even a 3M Crystalline 90 (85% spec) to conserve even more if one wanted.

If sunglasses protect everything else besides your eyes.

I know I was testing you!

-----------------------------------
Llumar Air Blue 80 (78%), essentially would provide you with reducing the glare without affecting the overall light since the difference of about 20% is virtually indistinguishable to the eye without a side by side comparison. When people look at the car, they don't even know that there is even a front window tint on there.

Protect what?!? I live where it's 50C in the summer, and never had any issue with any interior pieces in 7 years of owning the car.

If you haven't figured, I was implying other parts of your body the sunglasses don't protect . Lets not mention, the other occupants who maybe in there too.

Sure, yes I have my own own polarized sunglasses (I don't even like to wear them, since I prefer having not seeing colors significantly darker) can protect UV where the lens covers, but the rest of your skin is not protected and like hands, face, some others (depending on what you're wearing) when driving long hours on a sunny day.

With the front window tint, you can get pretty much gain an additional layer of UV project to your own body besides what the stock window has to provide.
