Hell yeah, that's my boy.

Now head over to the car shirtless and start chanting "THIS ISN'T OVAHHH" while pulling those tints off like a mad Schwarzenegger.

I have the same setup percentage wise with a black car with black interior, and i still have to drop the windows after it sitting in direct sunlight, but before i got the tint put on i literally had to open my door and wait outside because it was so damn hot in there

Tint does have a light transmission rating as well as a heat transmission rating, so depending on the type of tint you get you may notice a minimal difference. Probably won't stop you from rolling down the windows when you get in though.

I'm not sure what the % is on my car...but it for sure makes a difference.

I've noticed that when I am driving with the drivers window half down and the sun hits my skin it heats up pretty fast. If I roll the window up and have the sun pass through the tint it cools down.

Tint helps.

Otherwise you are living in a fish bowl.
