Default Any Factory Tint on TX350

Does the TX350 come with any tinting in the glass from the factory?
Have any existing owners already added additional tint?

Darker factory tint on all but front windows, as in the RX. Should be able to have any tinting shop match front windows to factory tint as long as it's legal in your state.

We added 20% to the front to match the back windows and it seems to match really well.

I can get some pics when I have a chance. I did a 20% windshield strip. added MA "legal" ceramic film to the front two windows which is 40% film so it reads higher than 35% which is the limit. I also did llumar air 80% on all of the rear, sides, cargo, and sunroof panes. helps keep the car significantly cooler and the A/C doesn't have to run nearly as hard all summer long.

usually a 20% film if legal in your state on the front two windows matches the factory back privacy glass well. remember rear privacy glass is tinted but heat and IR still makes it through it. if you want the coolest car temperature wise I would also recommend some film with heat and UV rejecting properties on the rear, cargo, and sunroof glass as well...

So I ended up doing 5% nano-ceramic tint on all the back windows, and 15% tint on the front two. Also added a 6” windshield strip. It’s very dark to see out of in the evenings but nothing too difficult (especially with the safety features of rear cross traffic, sensors, huge backup camera). My tint person did advise me that a 20% tint over the factory tint would result in 5%. And also that 5% over factory would be basically limo tint. So it is currently now basically limo tint (0-1%) with the factory tinted windows. It’ll be good for summers and it looks great on the car so, no regrets! Hope this provides some insight.

where do you live? in MA this would not fly and one would get stopped all the time. in FL or some other southern states where it is really hot it totally makes sense and no one really bothers any one. there is also no vehicle inspection in FL for regular passenger vehicles which is nice other than it results in high insurance premiums.

Totally makes sense, feel like this won’t fly in most states. I’m in Oregon. Here it’s legal for an SUV or any other “multi-purpose” vehicle to have any % tint on any of the rear windows. The front legal limit is 35% but 15% I’ve noticed has never been an issue for me in any of my other vehicles also.

same here on the tint laws. but when you start essentially blacking out the whole back of the car it makes any other windows that have tint look even darker. especially with a tinted sunroof or with the shade closed. a lot of the light in a car comes in through the windshield and sunroof and helps make cars with darker interiors look lighter.

Xpel XR+ ceramic tint. 70% windshield, 25% all around. Wind factory tints on the rear, they equal to 5% according to my installer. They came out nice.

80% on the fronts and 20% in the rears from the factory, so start with that percentage and multiply by whatever tint level you put on.
