lets see some pics of a tinted sunroof.

I was getting a little annoyed today with the sun shining through mine, had to close it up.

i never did the sunroofs in my old cars but when you have it popped up in the summer, the sun used to kill shining in, so this time i tinted it, and love it! i'll get a pic tomorrow of the tinted sunroof....

and i definately would not tint the mirrors lol,the tailights and reflectors in the bumper are tinted black though...

Tint for sure on the ISx50. I prefer 35% on all windows for a uniform look.

lmao, no plastic on my seats, and they never really get hot either, i have black leather and live in south florida so most people would tint but i gotta ride fish, plus if the seats get hot ive got the a/c seats on 3 always.

Double 5% is toooo much for me... Its funny every car I have gotten within a week its tinted, with the Lex, I'm in no rush.. I guess I dont mind people seen me driving this baby.. But when summer hits down here it is so ****ing bright, got to have tint..

I would tint my windshield, but I dont want the hassle, will do 5% all around and 5% eyebrow and sunroof
