Do you live where it gets cold? I went with Killmat (80 and 50 mil) then for the floor, firewall, and maybe the roof I went with Noico Red 180 mil.

You can insulate the glass & still see through it. It's called window tint. Just be sure & check your local & states laws about what percent of tint is allowed. The left side of your body will thank you.

Technically yes but it doesn't make a big difference. Now the new ceramic insulation tint is suppose to be good but it's extremely expensive.

I have 20% tint, including visor strip.
But there’s still the remainder of the windshield.

Nope... I think I’ve used the heater 3 times in the past 18yrs... and then a pair of gloves probably would have done the job.

I hear that every year though...... We may get a few days/weeks of REALLY cold temps, but, of late, that's been about it. (and it made me want to disconnect my outside air temp sensor..... -12 at 11:00 AM????? That is COLD......

Not that bad here yet. Even my father said a hot summer means a bad winter here. I hope we do so I can try out that cad lock and my homemade sensor to light the light up . We have been in the 40s at early morning but by 6ish it's in the 60s which is still cold to me

Yeah, last week or so has been really mild here..... Normally, I would expect tempts in the 90's, at least high 80's.... but, been low 70's instead. Seems we got our august weather in july. Doesn't bode well for September.
