If heat is an issue, you sure picked the worst possible color for your car...

What I am more concerned about is the front. It has a serious hazing problem when direct light hits it, either sunlight or streetlights. During the day, if you are driving toward the sun, at times it's almost hard to see anythingout the window...major haze. At night, if feels like you are driving through fog whenever I go under a streetlight. The windshield seems greasy and maybe cleaning it will help greatly or maybe it will get better with time...again it had just been 24 hours since I had it done when I drove yesterday. How soon can I clean it? I saw a site oline that said to wait 30 days?! That seems excessive.
That is why it is illegal to tint the windshield. I'd suggest to keep about 6-7" on top and cut and remove the rest. This way you'll have some protection left and you won't feel that you wasted $100.00, IMHO.

MOST new cars have a line at about the 5 inch mark on the upper portion of the drivers windshield... IIRC that's what is legal in Texas - a small strip across the top and only 35% on front windows...

nothing 'reflective' is what I have been told...

and in OUR humble opinion you picked the best looking color
