Exclamation 2GS - Best Tint 30% and up that will get rid of Green on Stock Windows?

What up peoples....so I've been searching for the last month and have come up empty.

I have an 03 GS300 Sport Design in Charcoal Grey black interior. Recently had my windows re-tinted 35% but it looks GREEN!!!

Anyone know of Specific Manufacturer and Line that will get rid of the Stock Greenish hue on windows? Looking for a classy look no darker than 30% but something that will make windows charcoal/black color. I have tried several different tints already mainly by JOHNSON.

1. Johnson (35% silouhette) = looks awsome at night but green during the day
2. Johnson (35% executive) = mirror green
3. Johnson (30% marathon) = still green and cheap
4. Johnson (35% renegade) = still green
5. Johnson (35% rayguard) = cheap and green
6. Johnson (35% greystone) = STILL GREEN
7. Johnson (40% ceramic) = yellow green!

As you can imagine i'm super frustrated! I also have an 07 IS250 with the sillouhette film in 35%which looks awsome however I believe the stock windows have a bluish hue to them as suppose to the green on the 2GS?

All I want to go is get rid of the green....SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! Located in Orange County

what manufacturer and line did you use? I just got off the phone with Andy at Andy's mobile tinting. His product 3M in his words " will still be green if stock windows have green hue to them"

Maybe stay away from "Johnson" and go to 3M brand? I own a car dealer, we have NEVER had the green tint problem. I just had a IS250 tinted 35% and it looks amazing.

If it has the green hue sorta like the RX300 has the silver/green hue, you cant get rid of it

It's the windows of the 2GS. I also have IS250 but stock windows/glass is not green (it's more bluish)

I am DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO USE JOHNSON, perhaps suntek or 3M, suggestions? Most of the tint shops are telling me the green will not go away unless i went darker than 30% simply because the glass itself is GREEN.

Am i the only one with 2GS with 35% have issue with the Green? Is it a sport design thing? My headlights have green tint to them also....perhaps same with the glass? any help is greatly appreciated!!!

I know some guys like the look of the green however on my particular set up it looks like a TOY to me.

Lol...this is really funny bc this is the only thing I hate about my car now. I use to have beautiful pure black 35% tint all around. I actually had to replace my passenger side window and decided to retint the entire car...the stupid crap turned out green and the guy at the tint shop told me it was my windows. BS! Oh, and that's $220 later. This was 3 years ago and i'm still pissed. He mentioned it was something like solarguard, tint that protects against UV's. I got jerked around.

I have 35% all around on my 99 GS4 and it looks great. Is this OEM green tint just on the 01+? That really sucks!

I knew I wasn't trippin! Before I decided to re-tint my car my windows were also 35% all around (unknown brand) but no green!

If anyone knows what the correct film to use please help. Most shops I've been calling have been telling me other wise.
