.....for the side windows and maybe the top-rear window. So what do y'all think?
I've been using the suction-cup screens on the side windows, but not while driving. They're a hassle, and a potential danger with the curtain side air bags. If I go ahead, here would be my objectives:
1) I primarily want to reduce interior heat while parked, and reduce the use of the AC during the day. I live in Florida, which is usually about 5 degrees hotter than Hell on any given day in the summertime.
2) I need to see out at night, particuarly if other vehicles don't have their headlights on. This concern, whether founded or not, is the main reason I have never had a vehicle tinted.
3) I'd like to make it more difficult to see into the back seats when the car is parked at night. On rare occasions, I need to carry something that won't fit with the seats up, and darker windows may make it more difficult for people to see something of potential value.
4) I kind of like the metalized tinting. I saw a car today that had it. It looked sharp on a silver car, and it didn't appear to be very dark. Yet, the metalized look made it difficult to easily see inside.
5) If I tint the back window too, how will the auto-dimming rear view mirror be affected?
If I proceed, I already have a good shop in mind (here in town). I think they carry many different brands. I'll pay them a visit this week, but in the meantime, what do y'all think? Do you have any ideas, favorite brands, or any potential "gotchas"?
I'm also concerned about getting stopped by the police. I don't want to get into trouble with the law.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.
