Stock tint
I just leased a 2007 IS350. I am considering tinting options and have reviewed the appropriate CL threads. I prefer the look of the same tint % on the sides and rear. FL, like many other southern and southwestern states has a 35% limit on the front sides.
A Lexus Customer service (1800#) rep surprisingly didn't know the stock tint % and sent me back to the dealer. Only one guy at my dealer purportedly knew and relayed that its 66% on the sides and rear. I am a bit surprised to see little mention of the stock tint and how that affects the overall tint. Adding a 50% tint would bring the effective tint to 33% (0.5 x 0.66.) Adding 35% sides and rear would actually be 23%. All assuming the stock tint is in fact 66%. Am I missing something?

I'm curious as to the stock tint % as well ... My car will be getting delivered in the next week or two ... and I'd like to make an appointment to get the clear bra and tint installed (kill two birds) ... just can't decide on what percentage I want ... though I'm definitely getting ceramic.
