Default Front Window tint.....

Can anyone tell me about getting the front windows tinted to match the factory tint in the rears? Can a lexus dealership do it, because i would really want it to match well. if so, what is the pricing like?

And by the way....I am ordering my RMM exhaust today

ya, you should be able to do it at any tint shop. looks exactly the same. but while your inside the cabin, it will look a bit duller if you look outside from the front windows instead of your rear ones since the fronts uses the film while the back is the window itself.

good luck!

Tint looks great. Too bad it's illegal in Illinois. Nice side tubes. I have the WAAG. Pretty satisfied.

they are illegal but i doubt the cops will notice it since the rears are like it and the front match up with the rears EXCEPT not that good since the front of the car window is not tinted it lets in light so its easeir to see inside from outside...
