C8 window tint

Just curious if anyone has thought about or explored tint. With all of my previous coupes I have dark tint on the side windows and across the hatch.
Obviously, tinting the hatch would obscure the engine.
Curious what others are planning? Just side windows, sides and the glass between the cabin and engine?

Just the Facts

I think the heat you'll get for being a previously discussed topic is more than from the engine bay of your car. Interesting, what post of the last 100 pages isn't a duplication? None. The car has yet to be built.

Having said that. All our cars are in the extreme heat/sunshine of S AZ. Side windows and rear will be tinted immediately.

Why do people worry about options, upgrades, and whatever on their vehicles before they even get them to see if it is necessary?

I'm sure for some, it is called being prepared.

This is no different from the many of us that had accessories/performance upgrades waiting in our garages before the vehicle arrived.

Because based on the corvette configurator, and every single live picture I've seen, I think the windows need tinting (esp that I've ordered Arctic white with black trim everything)... I have just been struggling with the rear window. I have never owned a corvette, so wanted to get peoples input before I start looking for a place to tint and possibly wrap the car a different color, one stop shop. I've already ordered aftermarket rims.

You just ordered your vette and forgot about it, huh?
