Default Whose Blue Onyx Pearl IS250 M/T was getting tinted at Lorenzo's today?

While I was at Lorenzo's Tint Shop in the Bronx today, I saw another IS250 M/T there getting tinted. The license plate frame indicated that it was from Rallye Lexus. Nice car! Who does it belong to?

Not me, but I would love to see pics of a blue onyx with tints. I want to tint mine, but would like to see how the car looks with tints first

Here's a pic of Kailua250's tinted 35% (from this thread):



I gotta say that it looks HOT.

Lorenzos is by far the best tint place in NYC. Tried many places before but none came close.

I had mine done here in Melbourne, FL yesterday with Formula One Pinnacle and it was $209.00. This is ceramic tint (vs. dyed or metallic) so it won't impact radio and nav reception. I'll try to post pics later but I think it looks awesome!

This was the first 06 IS this shop did and he said it was a challange. Particularly the front doors, getting behind the tweeters on the door sill.

One more, I couldn't figure out how to add multiple pics to a single post, sorry.

I would just recommend a ceramic tint. I used a metallic tint on my 03 Bimmer and lost complete AM reception and severely degraded FM reception. It costs more but is worth it IMO.
