Default Quick one, Tint/No tint on a 2006 GS300 AWD

With 20". Will it look better? I have a medator red exterior color. Also, if you guys think it will look better, how about darker rear windows, and make the rear windshield and the front doors windows the same percent?

Looks much better tinted, but agree with other guys... you have to do it the same color all around.

I will say 15% all around.......I personally feel like anything less then that is a bit too dark and might become a safety issue while driving at night.

Tint for sure.

but unlike everyone else.....i say dont go too dark. i have 50% all the way around (which is very light) and the car looks like it has smoked glass. you can tell its not completely clear but has a light shade to it. i love it, but it seems like everyone on the forums likes they're cars to be blacked out. i think it makes the car look ghetto and cheap, but whatevs.

the darkest i'd probly go is 35% all the way around......no darker.

whatever is legal.

if you drive at night, not too dark.

just enough so that people can't see you picking your boogers.

check your motor vehicle act to see what is legal.

I agree, tint all 5 windows same shade.

I like 35% on darker cars (which I have on my SGM IS), 45-50% on lighter cars.

Even 35% looks too dark unless you have a light color interior.
