I'm in the same boat as you. I've been debating for the past 6 months now if I should tint or not.

I'd say yes but it gets pretty hot here which is why I picked the film with the best heat rejection.

Absolutely tint. I just put SolarGard HP Charcoal on the rear and side windows. Looks fantastic. When the clouding dries up I'll take/post pics.
