Default Tinted Windows

My HS is Black on Black, it gets very hot in the back area behind a persons head. Ive been thinking of tinting the windows. I like the current look and having some light in the car really helps since its black. Can any one post pictures of their HS with Tinted windows and if it has helped keep the inside cooler ?

The tint helps a lot with heat issues. Make sure you get high quality tint like 3M, it will do a very good job at blocking the heat even if its very light. High quality tint has special coating to block UV and heat.

Will do , still waiting for my Boss AKA wife to tell me what to do . I wanted a white HS but bought it used so had to get black. This one had the all the goodies I wanted other than M/L.stereo . Fall is getting closer so I might hold off until Spring for the tinting.
