    My car is scheduled for tinting this weekend. I'm planning on getting Formula One tinting front and rear, however I'm on the fence regarding the front. Firstly, tinting the front windows is illegal here in CA. Secondly, I don't know if the windows are already UV and heat rejecting. Can anybody help me? If the windows already are heat and UV rejecting then I'll probably just go with getting the rear windows tinted.

    Thanks!

    Toyota says "All windows use UV-filtering glass that also reduces ultra-violet rays by 90% or more.

    In addition, the windshield glass cuts infrared rays to reduce skin irritation from sunlight-caused heat and to help limit the heating up of such fixtures as the steering wheel."

    I just checked my car and all windows are marked with the UV symbol but the windshield is not?
