Any thoughts on the economy of tinting one window with very very good film vs tinting them all with good film? Or maybe I've misunderstood, do you have all windows tinted and had the driver's redone in a better film?

I feel confident tinting all windows to a lesser degree of heat rejection leads to greater driver comfort with less ac dependence via lower cabin temperature than tinting only the driver's window to a higher degree of heat rejection. Maybe the driver only method would work if the sun was always on your left while driving and while parked and the rear side window was otherwise blocked from the sun. Just seems implausible.

My best local quote is $110 for 5 window tinting. Fuel and time to Memphis and back (120 miles one way) would make the $20 difference a wash I'd say. Still think I'd rather have more good tint than less great tint
