Window tint, ceramic/metal for heat, darkness for light.

I have 3M Crystalline window tints ALL AROUND, INCLUDING THE WINDSHIELD on all of our vehicles. OBVIOUSLY, lighter (80%) for the windshield. Works GREAT!! Cost a lot more vs the cheaper tints, but worth every penny!!

We leave the windshield uncovered in sunny SoCal summers for hours and when we come back to the vehicle, it is drastically cooler vs without any tint and cooler vs our friends' cars with cheaper tints.

Cut the morning and afternoon sun glares when driving. Much better at night too!!!

Or the following from eBay for under $5 for a set of two. IDK how much UV protection this will offer. I would still go for the 3M Crystalline window tints all around, including the windshield. Factory tints on the sides may not offer enough UV protection and/or heat rejection.

Are your children old enough to wear sunglasses?

Just wondered if you can share which one of the 3M Crystalline window tints you suggest. I noted on their website that there is more than one option. I would have to drive 50 miles to find someone to install that particular brand. Could someone give me an idea of what the cost would be to do it all around and the windshield.

thanks

3M isn't the only ceramic option. I had my LX done a few weeks ago with Llumar CTX ceramic tint, an equally high-end product which looks gorgeous and blocks 99+% of UV regardless of the tint level. It's available in an 80% "near clear" comparable to 3M Crystalline if you're happy with the factory look. (I installed 35% all around, over both the front windows and the factory tint in back.)
