I have finely tinted all 9 peices the glass with 3M
With the very hot sun in HK 33c up, wow the car has cooled down by about 8c which is very good now,
cost for all 9 peices $513us.
The china film which dose the same job but with out uv is less about $400us but I went for the best stuff.
I have also done the smart too but that was China film which cost only $80us for the sides window. The front windscreen I think I going to change the japanese glass which has the UV and sun protect in it, abit more but much better than the film.
I going to get the films done with all my cars now.
The Honda Stepwgn will have it with the China film free from the dealer.

nice job on the tints 
I see you've also swapped back from the clears to the normal (or tinted?) rear light clusters - looks much better
