Hello,

Do you guys tint your back windshield even though you have rear sun-shade? Will it look ugly though if we just tint the back passenger windows? Give me some opinion, guys. Thanks.

It will look balanced if you tint the rear window. Really can't drive with the sun shade up.

Tint the sides and rear. it would look funny leaving the rear window plain.

tint all 4 sides and rear window. tint the 2 front ones lighter and the 3 rear ones (including rear window) darker to give it a nice fade. i did mine at the Lexus dealer for approx $200cdn. Sometimes I even put the rear sun shade up to make it look even darker for the rear window but you can barely see anything with that.

That's what I am afraid of. That beats the purpose of having rear sunshade. Oh well...

i say do the same % all around. Not a fan of different tint levels. Now if your state's limit is 35% or something then I would go darker in the back, but here in Oklahoma its 20% allll around

In CA, no amount of tint is legal in the fronts. You pay to play OP. I'm running 35% all around on my Camry. Just don't give them a reason to stop you and they wont bug you at all

The dealer did ours 28% on front two windows, and ~15% on the rears. It looks great. I'll try to dig up some pics..

What color is your exterior and interior?

I have a Obsidian 2010 just tinted the window to the legal 35% all around and I have the sunshade but you dont have to use it. I do in fact like the sunshade for when the kids are in the backseat to give that little extra darkness and it works well. You cannot tell when its up or down from outside the vehicle.

here is our car just after we had it done

I have truffle mica with parchment interior color. I don't want like to dark too, besides it's not allowed in california. Also, in my opinion the back sunshade adds the spice of luxurious to the car. Hmmm......tough decision.

Where does Lexus get these alternative color terms? But anyway, go with a light smoke with a reflective exterior coat. I do not the exact term for it. But its lighter about 40% but is reflective on the outer coating to cut out some UV.

Hi esblk,

You visit lexus website, they mentioned it there. I think in the past, they called it cashmere instead of parchment color.

Regarding the "reflective coat" you're talking about...is that the silverish look from outside?

esblk

From some angles it will reflect but the depth of the reflection deepens on the color of the tint. I have seen it in bluish grey, tan, and smoke. I went with the smoke on my mustang. I may post some pics of the window later. I thought about going with the tan on the Lexus.
