Tint on white sc's
I was wondering what tint you guys have on your white sc's? and pics? I need to get mine redone. I could get it done at lexus for $150 but I can't get it "dark" the way I want it.. also worried about if doing the tint messes up the defogger on the rear windshield? I've researched locally and seems like most shops do it for $200+ seems like 20% all around looks nice especially on black sc's. And I know the legal limit for texas is 25% on the fronts. I was thinking about 5% in the rear 3 windshields but I don't want to have trouble backing up and not being able to see at night.

If you want darker than Lexus is charging, go to a local place. It should be like $170 (about what it is here anyway) sounds like 20% all around with 25% on the front would be good for you just to guarantee that you don't get a ticket, I have 5% on the back and 20% on the front 2, it's almost impossible to see out the back at night.

Thanks! Unfortunately the place I want to do the tint at only offers 5% 20% and 35% and 55%.

from what i know it is illegal to tint the front windshield, at least in FL. There are different types of tint you can use which block a certain amount of heat while not being as dark. Cant remember the exact names but a local place has them. They look light but block 70% of the heat. I wouldnt overly black out the small windows as those are your blind spots.

That's very true. I run 2.5% on my back side windows and haven't had any trouble.

I had 15% installed back and back sides.... Not too bad at night. Takes a bit of practice looking out the back during the day
Used a special 80% which is almost clear on the sides to reject heat and UVa - any after market tint is illegal in California on those windows but many people take their chances (or ride with the windows down to avoid being pulled over...).
When parked in the sun, a handy sun shade comes into play....

That looks good, That's how I want it.. I think I will get my tint done at lexus, It won't be 20% though :/
I never seen 3 different shades before but the combination looks nice! can people see through easily on 35% and recognize a face?
