Lexus tint - $295
Executive Motorsports tint - $145

Both offer lifetime warranty with their tint. Executive Motorsports is a tint shop in Houston and they seem to have a very good reputation.

There is a guy a tint guy at Lexus that my friend knows that will do it for $90. No warranty though, of course.

Which route would you take?

Executive...that is a good deal assuming they are doing all your windows???

Executive. Or any other reputable shops other than the delearship. Just make sure you they offer lifetime warranty.

They 5 windows...4 on the sides and rear window. Any degree of tint I want. I am probably going to go with 35% on the front ones and limo tint in the back and rear windows.

They are fairly reputable and do offer lifetime warranty.

Lexus!!!!!!!

i dunno what the tint laws in texas are, but the Lexus dealership will mostly likely only do legal tint. Take that into consideration if your planning on going darker than what your supposed to.

You should have told Lexus to tint the car before they delivered it! I told them and it was done for free for me! BTW, I bought at Westside Lexus.

The legal limit in TX is 25%, and the back window can have any darkness. I've got 35% and it is dark enough for me. I don't know if I'd go for limo tint on the back windows and rear window. It just makes driving in heavy traffic, especially early in the morning or at night, just that much more difficult. Houston traffic is bad enough with perfect vision, having limo tint makes changing lanes more tricky. And the IS has a bit of a blindspot because of the way the rear side windows and rear pillars are designed. I'd weigh those things in choosing a tint. Many do a limo tint, but I'm not sure how smart it is. I think 25% would be plenty dark enough.

A Lexus dealer will go to the 25% tint since it is legal. Anything lower and a dealer just doesn't want to get involved with breaking the law. Can't blame them.

wow, it cost me 350 + tax to tint all 5 of my windows... the dealer told me they wouldnt tint the front and my regular tint shop said they had to take the front door panels off to tint them that why it cost so much.

$209 with lifetime warranty, all 5 windows and windshield strip too. And no, my installer did not take off the door panels.

Even though the Legal limit here is 25% here are not many films out there that do 25%.The most popular are going to be 35%,20%,15%,5%.
