That's the tint I had on both my Cadillac's. The best I've ever had. The tint shop talked me into this new Carbon based tint this time. Blah, blah, better this, better that, blah... I won't use it again.

I use ceramic Suntek CXP 5% rears, 55% driver/passenger, and 80% windshield and I love them. Cost $525 installed.

The 80% ceramic blocks 44% heat, the 55% ceramic blocks 48% heat (same as regular 5% limo tint), finally the ceramic 5% blocks 60% heat.

I love it, keeps my black car cooler and absolutely no interference at all.

Wow you guys are paying a lot more than I expected. I paid less than $200 installed and its top quality In my opinion.

Default Lexus gs350 fSport

I did 3m tinting all around except front windshield. The back side windows got double tinted with 35 percent first then 20 percent. I did this because I originally thought 35 would be fine but then wanted to go a little darker. Front sides are just straight up 20 percent.

Looks nice! .. but almost a sure fire way to get a ticket if you lived in Southern CA.

I have the 3M Color Stable Tint (5% all around)...Love it. Comes off as a rich black color, I had the Formula One Pinnacle Series on my last car and it was a dark grey/green hint (because Lexus windows have a greenish tint i believe), which don't get me wrong, looked good, but that was because I had a Smokey Granite Mica IS250.
