This stuff is only legal on windows that don't have a tint limit (rear and rear side windows), that is you could just go to a darker tint for a similar effect. It's not away around tint laws.

Looking at the pics it looks like about 40% light transmittance. If you add this over 40% transmittance tint, you'll have roughly the same effect as if you'd just gone with 15% transmittance tint.

Although the white colour is good for reflecting light, tint films have metallic particles added which serve a similar purpose.

Unfortunately it's going to be a hard thing to test properly unless you have two identical cars.
