I have 5% on all windows except the windshield since I don't want the sun to ruin my leather and it helps a lot with keeping the car cool. So far the cops haven't bothered me

legal tint? LOL
there is no such legal tint. if it is legal. i think you shouldnt be tinting. lol
just tint the % which u want to tint.
Lexus = luxury. cops are kinda bias about rides. luxury ride = mostly let's go. they just pretend like they do not see you.
BUT with HONDAs or some known race cars. they most like to pull you over.

SLow Cuz It's Low

5% on the back glass and sunroof, and 15% on all the side windows, nothing on the windshield.. Black interior.

It really helps with the heat in the dead of summer sitting in parking lots, and the a/c cools the car down so much faster as well. Also protects the leather better..

I've been thinking about re-tinting it recently, with 35% or 50% all around since it looks a bit more elegant, the blacked out tint makes cops think your up to no good at first sight.

I have 50% all around. I'm not a fan of dark tint on black cars.

I got 25% on the front sides and 20% on the rear sides and rear window. If I were to to it again, I'd go with 35%. It looks almost like 5% when the sun isn't shining. I had the windows tinted for the privacy and also to block the heat.

That is just straight up crazy it seems. I have great vision but I just don't think I can do that.

I have tint on ALL my windows. I have airblue on the front windshield, 50% on the front drivers and passenger side windows and 35% for the rears. All ceramic for the reduction of UVA heat and damage for the interior.
