I'm really struggling to decide what tint to get?


I'm used to 20% tinted on a clear window and I want that same darkness in my IS. Think I should go 30%? Thanks!

Congrats man! I recently got a new F Sport last month. I need tints too.. I might go 35% all around. I think it doesn't look as nice when it's dark dark on a Lexus.. But what do I know.

Yea I agree. I want to go 35% all around after looking through the tint thread. Unfortunately my tint guy only has 5,20,30,40.... Anyone know if there will be much if a difference between 30 and 35 percent?
