Even on the coupe with smaller greenhouse the tint looks moderate in daylight and in direct light looks like a light shade more than tint, it is very reasonable.

Note* the highest UV protection film from Xpel (99%) will have a blue hue to it. I opted for the lesser UV protection film from Xpel (95%) which has a black hue.
