After the black leather in my s197 gt premium, I refuse to own black leather in any car. Gah that was miserable in the summer
My Accord Coupe has All Black Leather and even in the Florida Heat it Never gets too Hot with the Wincos Tint I've got on it. The Interior pic was taken before the windows were tinted.

Well, never needed, nor was a fan of window tint.

Seems a tad too bit ostentatious for me. All leather .... my AC cools my car off in less than 30 seconds & I wear polarized driving glasses..


FWIW: I crack my windows an 1/8", it reduces inside temps substantially. More so than a sunshade that people put up.
Well, if you have a leather interior... actually anything for that matter... don't you want to protect your interior? Tinting does an awesome job of that as well as keep our some heat as well

I've got a silver Audi with the black leather... it works fine for me... sometimes it's hot but not unbearable... no cooled seats but definitely heated for the winter..... car color can also make a difference in heat

I use the 3M Crystalline film in my cars. Even if you are worried about being a tad bit ostentatious since even clear it will still block 97% UV rays. :headbang: Or if you want to be a little more pretentious you can black it out with the same results.:clap2:
I've gotta try that.. hope they have it at the dealer darkest possible

I was just going to edit my post about My Accord and add the fact that it being Silver makes a Huge Difference too.

Ford does not offer factory tint on the 2014. I had mine tinted with Llumax CTS ceramic.

Anyone else going to tint? That back window will be nearly impossible to tint.

I got a Nano Ceramic Tint by Wincos on My Accord Coupe. I got what is Legal in Florida for the Rear Windows (15%) All Around. The film had the Highest UV Rejection I found and the dealer had a box set up in his loby with all of the Tints he installed with a Heat Lamp in the box. You could feel the Heat coming through all of the others, but Absolutely No Heat through the Wincos.
I don`t care for the Blueish-Green Color Tint Film that Winco`s uses. I`ll stick with top of the line 3M Film instead.

Lol... was afraid of that. Oh well..gotta get the darkest legal tint there is... gotta protect my insides from the devilish Texas sun
Just so you know you can tint the front windshield down to your as-1 line as well which is what i'll be doing to help beat that heat

It's Charcoal and looks Black from the outside, but there is a slight Blue/Green looking out at certain angles which I don't mind. Especially considering the Heat Rejection factor.

I always have mine done to the bottom of the mirror button which usually brings the outer ends an inch or so past the AS-1 line. It just looks better as a straight line across the bottom.
