Question: Do you find the interior sun screen (shade) for the moonroof to block enough light or are you going to tint the inside glass on the moonroof? From what I have read on here the screen for the moonroof might be too translucent for some people?

She's in for tint as we speak, my guy who's probably one of the best in the business warned me about the front inside rubber seal that is so tight on these cars, that scratching the tint could occur if the windows were constantly put down or in dusty conditions.
I very rarely have my windows down but still went with his suggestion of applying a soft, felt-backed material to help prevent that since scratch lines in the tint would drive me up a wall ...so an extra $60/side brings my total up to $570 complete...pricey with the addition of the ceramic and the extra material, but such is the price for quality work.
He's also removing my rear head rests and leaving them in the trunk so they won't block my rearward vision.
Pictures to follow guys...

You've just GOT to ditch those bulky US spec headrests and go with the low-profile Euro ones.

Back from tint...
3 hours later and she's done, he was able to fit the side felt nicely and showed me a tiny scratch on the drivers glass that was caused by the hard rubber before the tint...so obviously it's pretty tight in there.
I had him leave the rear headrests off the car and will store them on the shelf until the lease is over, don't need them.

Not sure they would be beneficial on a coupe.

Can’t wait to tint mine at the end of the month!

Looks perfect, excellent contrast between the Daytona Gray Pearl paint and the color of the tint. Did you have the front windscreen tinted too, or does the other tint just make the windscreen look darker (tinted)?
