Does Vans, or anyone else offer tinted windshield and windows? Seems
like would be desirable for all VFR flight to cut heat gain.

Don’t recall if the windscreen had any tint but the side windows come pre tinted.

I wouldn't expect that anyone would want tinted windows in an airplane. It is hard enough to see at night without looking through a tinted windscreen!

Doesn't make much difference after dark. Makes a big difference when
the afternoon sun is beating down on you in 110 here in Phoenix. Heck,
I could feel the heat gain in 410RV in Aurora on a cloudy day.

Point is, night flying is a small percentage of use, the only things you
will see are lit anyway, so tint has virtually zero impact on visibility.
Stick on shades work okay for blocking some of the light, but little for
heat gain. I guess will have to focus on ventiliation.

I would rather have the visibility than not. It really makes for fun
flying.

Some people are talking about tinting only the rear windows? Kinda sporty. Thoughts?
Also some tint before installing. I figure if they can tint my car after production I would do the same in the -10 (if at all).

I haven't a clue about it's effectiveness to keep the heat out ...... but my Grumman and the Traumahawk both have tinted windows. I also like to fly at night and never had a problem with seeing through the tint. Applying the plastic film tint after construction would be ugly at best since it doesn't take to compound curves very well. I think the bottom line is in the occupants comfort zone. The tinted windows are a lot easier on the eyes and therein lies the biggest benefit, in my book.
