To Tint or Not To Tint?
I think I have found what I consider the best of both worlds. Upon recommendation from the people that installed my PPF and ceramic coating I installed 3M Crystalline Series window film. I love it as it allows others to see in, my old eyes to see out (especially at night) and a dramatic reduction in interior temperature. It's been on my LC now for 3 years and holding up perfectly. I've attached a 'normal daytime' photo showing the amount of tint.

Interesting, thank you very much for this information. I will research and consider this.
Please do what is right for you, I’m only sharing my personal experience because our cars could be identical twin brothers. To share a story with you, I was on my way home from picking my car up from the Lexus Dealership after having some maintenance done last Friday. A young man in a white Hyundai pulled up on my right side at a stop light and motioned me to roll my window down, which I did. He said, “That’s a really tight car you have there, what do you do for a living.” Not wanting to get personal I replied that I worked at the Space Center and that I did all right financially. Maybe because of my age, I’m not quite sure what he meant by a “Tight car”, but I could see that he was really impressed and enamored. This car definitely draws a lot of attention and I’m truly blessed to be able to own such a magnificent vehicle.
Thank you for sharing the personal experience. I will definitely do what’s right for me. We are blessed to drive such a great vehicle.
Living in Texas I’ve never had this dilemma. The answer has always been to tint.
However, I purchased my vehicle from Illinois where tint is not always a must have. I was all set to tint my car until a couple of my friends asked me not to.
They happen to think the Liquid Platinum and red interior is a combination that needs to be seen and not diluted.
Furthermore, the LC’s a/c in concierge mode has been doing a great job at keeping the Texas heat muted.
These circumstances have me for the first time considering not tinting my windows. However, I thought I would gather the thoughts of some fellow LC owners. What say you fellow LC owners tint or no tint?
