Oh and its also good in case 2-3 years from now you decide to buy out the lease you will have a non chipped front end.

Clear bra the front if you want it to stay pretty. These cars have super soft paint and attract rocks like flies to fresh poop (because they are so low Im assuming). Some people will say not to do it on a lease but hey you tinted a leased car which is essentially sort of the same thing just different part of the cars body.

I had the 35/20 combo on my previous IS. 35% on all side windows, 20% on rear window. Honestly, there isn't a huge difference between the transition, unless you inspect it closely from different angles. My interior was black.
If you don't have a sunshield, I'd definitely recommend going darker on the rear tint. Like I said, my 2IS had 20% on the rear window, but I still had my sunshield up almost all the time (except when I drove at night).

Doesn't bother me because you can see the red from the front. But it's a wow factor when you open the door and you end up seeing the red interior! My show people the car I get the "wow" expression on their faces

tinted windows
I want to get my windows tinted but I'm having trouble deciding which tint to get and how dark. Can anybody who's had this done already give me their thoughts please and post pics if possible? Thanks in advance.

and your a magnet for a ticket. good luck with that!
i can't see behind me with 20% on the sides and back unless whatever is behind me has headlights.
i can't see nearly as good as i would like when backing up and the camera is not detailed enough at night for real piece of mind.
therefore 5% is way too dark to see behind me.
20% in the day time you cannot see anyone in the car so i don't see the point in doing 5% all around.
