Looking for tint pics with flaxen interior
Specifically black with 35% tint and flaxen interior. Also for those who have this color interior how difficult is it to keep clean? I always stick with black interior because i keep my cars on average 8 years and black tends to hide imperfections. But i am OCD and do stay on top of cleaning the car so it always looks new regardless of age.

Not sure what you are looking for, I have 2016 IS350, luxury edition with flaxen interior (real leather). Had to custom order the car since no one like that was available anywhere in the US. Beautiful interior and have had no issues keeping it clean but I don't have kids. Love my IS.

The thread clearly states that im looking for people who have tinted windows with flaxen interior. Im trying to get an idea of how much of the interior shows through the tint. While i was at it Im also asking how hard it is to keep clean. Im OCD and keep my cars on average 8 years and they always look just as new as when i bought it regardless of age.

Window Tint
The '18 IS350 owner's manual suggests not to use any glass cleaner to clean the inside of the rear window because of the rear window defogger heater wires and antenna, but instead to use lukewarm water to clean as needed. I've seen many rides on this forum that have tint all around, but has anyone had any problems/issues with having tint on the rear window affecting the defogger or antenna?

Been using Stoner's Invisible Glass for years with tinted windows on multiple cars with zero negative affects. I wouldn't use anything else either. A dry or damp microfiber towel? Sounds like streak city to me....

if you have tint, you're essentially cleaning plastic. so not following the use of stoners on it. i mean i'm sure it works, but it may be overkill for cleaning plastic film. stoners is expensive stuff

So I have an appointment scheduled next week to get the car tinted. The shop I'm going with is pretty reputable, 5 stars and has done a lot of celebrity/exotic cars. I believe they pretty much offer the Llumar product line, as they're an authorized shop to install it.
Good thing is that this shop honors a true lifetime warranty against peeling, cracking, fading or adhesive failure.
- Llumar Formula One Stratos Series
- Llumar Formula One Pinnacle Series
- Llumar Formula One Classic Series
- Llumar CTX

Here is a list of their types of film they offer. I would look through it to decide on what fits you best.

If you own the car then go with a film that isn't a dye to prevent it from fading. If its a lease then its up to you on what you want to get. I have one shade below limo and I cant remember if that is 15% or 10% for Llumar. It's dark enough and people will only pretty much see a shadow of the driver. Limo is too dark to see out from at night. Check with your state laws on the percentage of tint allowed if you car, most states you cant have anything on the front.

Anyone have Pinnacle on their cars? If so, how does it look and how much does it really reject heat on the inside?
