Front window tint not dark enough? UpShade?
My 50% tint just doesn't cut it for me and I'm not willing to go illegal dark - not worth it to me. I was looking into buying some mesh shades that go up on the inside of the window to decrease incoming sunlight and also to make the appearance darker but not permanent. I came across 'UpShade':

Does anyone have experience with these? How efficient are they? I would love if there was something like this that could completely cover both driver and passenger windows but easily come off like these:

Any advice to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated. Or if I am just wasting my time let me know.

I have never seen upshade before. They are not a uv blocker, just a mesh type material. I would think they provide similar sun blocking like the oem rear sun shield/visor, which does do a decent job.
Did you aware that all tinted front window is illegal no matter how light was it (CA law). However, tinted windows is just like hit or miss. I have been driving all over the place with double tinted on the back (windows and rear windshield) and limo tinted up front with loud exhaust, demon eyes (just turn on foglight - no low bean) and not yet getting any ticket for it.

You already have 50% on the front windshield and have the other windows tinted and it isn't dark enough for you? What percent are the doors and back glass, if so? I have 35% on the doors and back glass and the 50% on the front and it looks like this......

5% on back glass, 5% on rear windows, 50% on front windows and entire front windshield, with the AS1 line at 5%. I'm maxed out. I live in one of the sunniest places on earth - southern Utah. Temperatures hit 110 in the summer and the winters aren't even cold. Lots of sun. Black car. You get the idea.

Yeah I've used the shades before, kids window side, and it works well .
