I noticed in the summer months the sun is brutal and tends to hit you much more in this car compared to other cars. Two honda accords in the family and you don't get this, (top portion of the windshield on both those cars came from the factory tinted). I remember there being a time when most cars had this yet i don't see it much anymore, has anyone had this done to their car?

I've done it to all of my cars. I even did a DIY on my corolla. Its not hard at all. You can get the roll from Walmart for $13 and do it yourself with a squeegee, a plastic card, spray bottle with some soap and a razor blade.
The difference is night and day. I wont tint the entire windshield or the popos will get you.
Just make sure you get the limo tint or else its probably useless lol

March 2007, I thought it was cool since everyone in UAE doing it, when I entered this forum, I changed my mind completely LOL.

August 2007, Best tint I ever had, too bad the cops were threatening me for a ticket.

February 2008 (and current), same windshield tint, I just changed the sides and rear, still dark looking, had no problems with cops.
I'd say, tint your whole windshield.. I wish I can go back to August 2007 setup

You can also get a front sunshade and use that on warm sunny days.
I personally would prefer that over getting the front windshield tinted, which is a ticket magnet as well as dangerous in my opinion (depending on how dark it is)

You need comparison to really tell how much a tinted windshield is affecting your ability to see well at night. If you took a look through a legal windshield first, you'd see a real difference.
There's a reason this is illegal, guys. It's not worth getting in an accident and being ticketed (or worse) for knowingly breaking the law.
