Hire it done by the pros. You will be a lot happier in the long run. Select a metallic based film. It has the highest UV rejection, reducing heat. The latest tinting technology is ceramic based films. They are the bees knees in radiation control, but they are so new I don't know a great deal about them, but they are out there in case you want to pursue it. Supposed to be much superior than metal based films, but I don't have much experience with them yet so can't report performance in the field.
