I have the Llumar Air 80 on my Civic with the CTX 15 on all other glass. People are shocked when they ride in the car and I tell them the windshield is "tinted". You can't tell to the naked eye unless you find an area that isn't tinted, such as around the dimpling at the very top edge near the mirror. It provides a light blue hue to the view, but again, you wouldn't know without a comparison. The difference in temperature is shocking and it will help to stop the interior from fading any further. I've had this treatment done on two other vehicles as well. My only regret was not doing it to them sooner; which is why I did it during my first week of ownership of this Civic. The cost is high though...my shop charges $190 for the windshield in Air 80. I don't care, it's worth it to me.
If you're looking for a real working example, I drove home in 75 degree weather yesterday here in Alabama with the windows up and just the fan running in the car...no AC. It was warm, but not unbearable.
