but 35% is still illegal

I think a drastic difference looks strange, but I live in the desert and any bit darker helps.. We legally can have 35% on the drivers front windows. I just am trying to see if I should do 35% all around, or do a little darker in the trunk window like 20%.... (not the back seat)

You guys think a 35% all around except front will look fine?

I did 35% on my last car (up from 20% on the prior one) and it was okay, but it was NOT dark enough during the heat of the summer here to keep the edge off. I'm glad I've got sub-20% on my new IS350.

Hey do you have any pics of your 350? I'd love to see what 20% all around looks like on a Smoky Granite! I'm considering it, not looking forward to the summer here in PHX!

I like it! I ended up with 35% Sides and 20% rear Suntek Carbon film. Looks really good! I'll post some pics tomorrow!

Are your headlights painted or does it look darker because of reflections ?
