Wow, I like the plate as well.

I would go with 30-35% on the fronts, and 20-25% on the rears. If you want it all in one shade, then I'd recommend 30% all around.

Congratulations!

From your interior photo, I noticed you do not have the rear shade.

Did you special order your car or is it a regional configuration thing?

It's a Premium package (I assume).

I have Formula1 Ceramic Charcoal 35% and love it. 35% is the max on front windows in TX, so I went with 35% on all 5 windows for the balanced look. I will post a couple of pics when I get home. Keep in mind, my tint may look a little darker than yours would since I have the black leather...

Thank you all for the nice comments. I dont' have a rear shade on it. Not sure if I should or not. I just have the Premium Package and Nav. It was a car on the lot, I didn't order it.

Sincerely,
dorky nerd... heheh

I would love to see some pics of it. I need to get tint ASAP,, with the sterling interior it is way to bright inside during the day..

I forgot to mention earlier, you bought the best color! Really looks nice.

Did not want to hijack your thread, so here are the pics https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=222223

BTW-I don't IM very much, so I actually had to google AFK to figure out what was so funny... I think that makes me a bigger dork...

Would you two get a room already!

Nice car, I like TP alot, too. I thought everyone would be getting this color, so, I avoided it. Now I'm surprised it's not as common as I anticipated, maybe everyone else thought the same thing?

I agree. If you want to go the same all around, get 30%. Then you can use the rear window shade (if you have it) for further privacy/darkness.
