Question Need some opinions on Window Tint.

Hi gang,

I am considering tinting the windows in my Stock - 2008 GS 350. The exterior is Starfire Pearl with Cashmere interior. I am considering going with the light blue tint that I've seen on a lot of Mercedes' and BMW's. However I have not seen that color on a white luxury car yet and was just curious as to what it would look like. If anyone has a pic of a Starfire Pearl GS with the Light Blue tint that would be really helpful. If not, your opinions are greatly appreciated, thanks.

I dont think you will get the exact color you're looking for, since Lexus windows are slightly tinted already (with a hint of green). When you'll apply the film it will change the color, not too much but it will..

Man iI like the idea of blue tint. That will actually relax you while you drive. Pretty cool.

i think blue will look cool with white, but the only thing is, ur interior is yellow (cashmere), the mercedes u see with the blue has gray interior, the cashmere interior will probably make the color scheme weird, but in the end its ur choice

imo looks very tacky

and correct me if i am wrong, those bluish tinted that come stock with the Mercedes are not films, they are color dyed glass.

I agree.


Stay with the standard dark tint on Starfire.

charcoal is the way to go. though, white is such a neutral color that anything will likely match
