Default Tint percentage on a pearl white IS. Post up your tinted IS300

What is the best percentage looks wise for a pearl white IS300?

If anyone has there white IS tinted, could you post up some pics please.

I am contemplating 35% or 20%. I don't want to go to dark.

I don't have a white IS, mine is IBP, but I went with 15%(the legal limit where I live) and wish I had gone darker. I don't know if that helps any. Since your car is white whatever tint you go with might look darker, but on my dark-ish car it looks too light for me.

I can't seem to find a pic I have that shows the tint good enough, I'll take one tomorrow and post it.

Thanks! I had 15% on my last Lexus and it was a bit dark. I am just looking for something that looks clean and not too dark which is difficult with a white car with black interior.

Ended up going with 20% for anyone who is wondering what that percentage looks like on a white car.

If you don't want dark tint but want to have the heat reduction and protection from the rays check out Llumar Air Blue 80. It really pops on white cars and will out perform any carbon tint including at any %. If you aren't into the color of this you can still consider other ceramic tints at 30% 40%
