Default 2nd Mod - 18% tint all around

My second modification, after my twin 10.1 DVD screens, was getting 18% tint all around. Next up, new rims......TBD

Yup, raised in South Texas, been here 14 years - you can take the Spurs fan out of Texas but not the fan out of Go Spurs Go!!

Looks good, I have 18% Ceramic tint on my GS and looks (the shade) just like it.. I think 18% is near perfect especially if you have light interior.

1QWKGS4 - yup, this is the perfect shade for light interior. Mine is parchment and when they were done, all of the tint guys (installers) agreed that was the perfect shade!

This is good to know. I have black interior. I have 35% on front and 20% (I think) on rear side windows, and I am thinking of going darker. Maybe it will be too dark....

BTW, the car and tint look great!

I had 13% on mine and it was great for me. Very rarely would I have to roll down the windows at night.

I went lighter than I ever have on the LS, 40%. I was afraid it would be too light, but I think its perfect. Can see at night no problem, doesn't look "ghetto limo tint" but still decently dark. My interior is black however.

I went 20% front and 35% rear side and back window. Good combo comfort and visibility. I wouldn't go darker.
