My experience, with the really dark, almost black stuff is that it cuts down
on the heat.

Subject: Window Tinting - What Really Works?

 I am looking into tinting the windows on my '86GL.
I Really want to cut the amount of heat that the car retains during the
day.
I have have heard 2 stories on tinting the windows, Either it helps cut
down the heat, or the tint picks up the heat, and radiates it into the
car.

which one is true?

Thanks All,
Matt
