Get ceramic tint if you do but expect to pay double, but totally worth it. Cuts interior temperatures significantly. Go with 35% to be legal and not lose night time ability to see backing up.
 
It is. The comparison they showed me before I got mine done was display with 2 pieces of glass, one with regular tint, the other with ceramic tint. They held a 100watt light bulb behind the regular tint and heat from bulb went right through. Same done with same bulb behind ceramic tint and virtually no heat was felt through. I was sold! It’s nice not roasting the butt on seats while wearing shorts and sweating to death before AC does its thing.

Also notice after all these years, tint hasn’t turned that funky purple like regular tint.
