Hey guys,

I just got my new 2013 Lexus Ct f sport in nebula gray!
I need help choosing how dark to get my tint. Would you guys mind posting pictures of your tint and tell me what shade it is? It would help make my decision alot easier. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the photo! Looks good! I'm from San Diego. From the looks of your photo, are you in Oxnard? Just a guess

Good to see another San diegan I don't have pics but I went with 20% all around except the front windows... A little bit darker then the tint on the sunroof..

Nope, not Oxnard. Pic was actually taken in Monterey. I'm up in SF Bay Area.

Awesome Sfxr. How is your visibility at night? Do you have a picture of your trunk window from inside and out? I used to have limo tint on my old car and it was way to difficult to see at night. Im curious how 20% looks. If its too dark i may go 30%

here in san diego ... cops are jerks. that said, i went w/ llumar ctx charcoal 30% all round (9 windows). i chose 30% because the interior is already black/dark, and i feel the super mega crazy dark limo style tint is tacky. also the llumar ctx has a bit of a metallic grayish/charcoalish reflection ... looks classy when the sun hits it.



cant tell by the pics ... but my front windshield is tinted 80% w/ llumar's air series. uv and heat rejection is pretty much the same as the 30% tint ... crazy! and you can barely tell its there!!! expensive but well worth the $$$ imo, esp w/ a brand new interior

Here's a pic from outside looking in:


IMO I think 20% is just right. You can still have the privacy you want from the outside, and you can still see out from the inside. Limo tint is too dark for my taste. Hope this helps.
