I also live in Texas, so the tint serves a practical purpose but also looks great with LP. (Syd, people can still see my Cabernet interior when I open the sunroof) Lexus tinted my windows, 35% all around.

I think SP and LP are screaming for tinting! Obsidian looks good either way.

im not a fan with dark tint, you have a luxury car, it looks much nicer with 35% tint, its just enough for people to see your interior and not have it too dark.. but its still personal taste

On that note: I debated if I was going to tint my car or not...I always have had 5% on all my cars. Something about dark tint on cars just looks right. It is a luxury car, but luxury and privacy almost always go hand in hand (plus, the looks dont hurt).

Something about having an extremely tinted car and being able to watch people stare at your car is quite amusing as well. Anything less than 5% tint just doesnt cut it for me, especially on Lexus glass which gives a real awkward green tint, on my RR that wouldn't look right.



Not the best picture, but you get the idea. I'll post more later, all I got for now.



Took this the day I got it done than messed with a filter on my phone, haha

Thanks for the pics. I'd been looking for some good photos of a gray car w/black interior w/50% tint. I got my car done today with 3M CS 50% and it's just the look I was going for.

Default GS F-Sport window tint

I am considering a number of different window tint for my 2013 GS350 F-Sport AWD (starfire/flaxen). I am considering 3M Crystalline or ceramic or F1 and was wondering what experience any have had with any of those products and electronic interference or general impressions?

Looks great. What is FTW? Do you know the tint manufacturer/name? What did that set you back?

Ceramic is the best tint I've used. I currently have Carbon based tint and I don't like it very much. It doesn't keep the heat out as well. I am gong back to ceramic on the next car.

It means "for the world" its a hip term lol. I have 33% Suntek ceramic and I love them. They're the perfect balance for me personally.

Ceramic tint is the way to go. I thought FTW was "For the win"
