2 pics IS350 SGM w/light gray interior. 35% all windows.

I think 35% is ideal in CA, because I don't need the hassle of dealing with cops that have nothing better to do. But I do have a cop in the family in case of fix-it ticket to signoff if necessary, but it hasn't been necessary.

Keep in mind certain pictures will look darker or lighter than others.

Perfect! Thank you (and everyone else) for posting! After looking around I think 35% is dark enough for my taste.

hey thanks for the great pics everyone. I am going to go with 35% all around. IS-SV pic's looks exactly how I want the tint to be. I have been holding off on tinting my window because i didnt want to be hassled by the police. If you guys say 35% is safe for CA then im going to go with that.

There is still a small amount of risk with 35% on 2 fronts in CA, that's why some do 50% on the 2 fronts. But the car will look better with uniform tint (same %) on all 5 windows, similar to concept/show cars.
