I don't have my Maverick yet, but in my Jetta I have clear tint, I think it's called Air Blue, on the windshield and it makes a huge difference.
Plus 15% ceramic tint on all of the other windows

Yep, have had my Maverick windshield tinted. Not legal here in CA but the police and CHP seem to have other things to deal with than tints. Plus it gets to over 120 out here so they may be more forgiving due to that.
One thing I just found out is that ceramic window tints can interfere with radar detectors, in case you have one.

Mike,
I'm bad with the %'s. If I remember correctly, it is 50% on the windshield and 70% on the side windows.
It is incredible what a huge difference it makes in lowering heat transmission. That and the added security. Harder to see in.

Have it on my BMW and our CRV and love it, we live in PHX. The higher the % the lighter the tint. I have 75% on both cars for the front windshields

Mike,
I can tell the difference at night. If you have any issues with vision at night, I would not suggest it.

IT depends on the % of tint, I have 75% and really haven't noticed much.

I just tinted an eyebrow, about 20% to match the rear windows. Works well for me.
