Take it to a tint shop :)

Do your research. Google/Yelp (eh, not always 100% honest), ask members, friends.

First place to visit is the socal section https://www.clublexus.com/forums/cl-...alifornia-149/

Welcome to CL and congrats on the car. If you're in So Cal it'll be hot so good idea. Here's pics of what other people have used so you can compare how dark you want to go. Good luck.

thanks ! :D

Find a place that has maxpro film. Lifetime warranty

I would recommend ceramic tint, it keeps the heat out. I live in Texas and during our hot months you can tell the difference. It is more expensive but it works really well.

Make sure you look up the tint laws in your state. I know the tint law in Cali is more strict than here in FL so keep that in mind

+2 on Ceramic Tint. Have it on my IS350 and my parent's LS460. It helps when you have a darker car/black interior. That, plus a Heatshield sun shade, and you will have a comfortable car to sit in. Even if it is >100 degrees out! :)

I had mine done at a local shop and there are a FEW bubbles but it doesn't bug me. I got SolarGard 32% all windows except front windshield and it's sufficient.

Check your state's tint laws if you don't want to get pulled over.
