Default Got some heat rejecting tints on: Hüper Optik Ceramic 60 and Sech

Some background: the Ceramic 60 is rated at 58% visible transmission, 60% IR rejection, while the Sech is a metal film rated at 59% visible transmission and 83% IR rejection.

I've put the Ceramic 60 on all the windows except the driver and passenger front windows, which have the Sech, for cost reasons. Here're some before and after pictures (all pictures at the same shutter speed, aperture, and ISO):
