Just get high quality tint.....I got some blue window tint from a tint shop and did it myself, and it turned out pretty well. Just be patient when you do it and dont rush.

I did it, and it looked great until the cops made me take it off. I had it down to 5% visibilty... Almost black. Anyway, I just bought the crap from Checker that was the more expensive kind with the metallic heat reflectant in it. Also got some tint adhesive. It's easiest to take the glass all the way out if you're going this route. Otherwise, you WILL get bubbles. Take you door windows out, and the rear out. You can also remove the little corner window on the doors. Make sure you use a squeegie and apply the adhesive with a spray bottle, squeegie out all the water/adhesive and bubbles, then cut the edges with a razor blade. Easy, just time consuming. If you need help on window removal, let me know.
