I got 23% cause the guy said that lexus's come with ~89% stock. It looks great... not to dark but enough to know that your a pimp, had I known where to get reflective I would have done that, I think it looks awesome.

Excuse me if i'm wrong... but isn't the lower the percentage the darker the tint? Lol

100% would be pretty CLEAR...

Yup, i def. agree with him! Dark is sexy! And especially when you have a sexy car and people try to look at you... they can only see a shadow. Makes you look mysterious! LOL

Besides, if you live somewhere where there's a warm climate (even one where you have hot summers), darker tints become really useful...protect your leather and keep it cool during those hot days!

That's why I got 5% on our long-**** back window and the rear passenger windows. Legally we can only get 35% max on the front windows with nothing more than a small eyebrow on the windshield (which I didn't get).

If you don't have tinting in Texas, you can pretty much die in the heat and sunlight hitting your car.
