In South Florida, it is a necessity to get window tinting.  Yes the car
looks better, but the truth is that the car stays cooler all around, and
the upholstry is protected.  I got 15% film on windows except the
windshield.  The law actually states the driver and passenger side window
should be 30% film, but the police down here don't enforce that unless
they need to pull you over for some reason and then give them a hard time.

For the next car I get, I might go to limo tint.  You can get a good
installation down here for about $130.  Don't cheap out on the material. 
I've seen cases like on my friends car where he used the rear defroster
too much and the film turned purple and bubbled, making the car look
hideous.
