Default Limo tint on Tungston Pearl

Had the tint for over a month now, but just got around to putting some pics up. 5% on all the windows.

I think it only allows you 100Kb. I used Irfanview to re-size the images.

That is a free download.

n/p
Once you are in the program, go to "image" then "resize/resample"
Then I just set it to 25% of original size and that works for me.

It's heaven in the day time, especially with the Florida sun. But at night, it's not that bad once you get used to it. After all, I have the back-up camera to see behind me when i'm backing up at night.

It was a special order someone backed out of. And it was the exact same car I had preferenced. So I lucked out on that.

You said you recieved it a month ago, I'm suprised it came in
pretty quickly... That is exactly what i wanted, Black interior and ML"
I would def have taken the luxury package instead of the sport package
if it included the ML and black interior, I envy you!

Payam, do you have any pictures from the inside looking out through the tint or any of the inside of the car, doors closed on a sunny day? I'm curious how much light is let in through the windows.

Years ago I had 20% tint all around except on the front windshield of my 87 Grand National and at night I always got the feeling I was in a dark cave peering out through the front windshield. Never did get used to it. So since then I never have any additional tint installed on any vehicle I own. However, if I owned a new IS, I would definitely have a windshield eyebrow (dark band of tint across the top of the windshield) installed since the car looks so econo box to me without it. Shame on Lexus for deleting the eyebrow. I guess they are saving a nickel per car that way. I noticed the 07 LS and 07 Camry have the proper eyebrow.

Why too dark? People should be able to look through those windows and see WHO the driver of such a nice (and expensive) vehicle was.
