I dont think that's the correct film because I went to a llumar tint shop and they showed me what pp35 looks like And the film looked pretty dark and gray in my hand so whatever this car has it certaintly isn't pp35.

FYI, The old-timers (me included) can remember back to before auto windshields were tinted. Now they all are. Back in the early 1970's, it was unusual to see new cars with untinted windshields, but they were still available.

picked up a 1999 rx300. it seems like the rear window tint has some peeling in some areas. i assume its tint that can be removed. but i see here that people mention a rear factory tint? so there is a dar ktint already on the car window that cant be removed? i actually see it peeling off? unless someone tinted over it?

eitherway it looks blurry as if it has tint that has gone bad.

what do you think or suggest. have my guys remove it and scrape it clean and than retint all around.

can i use a regular charcoal tint all around? will it match or do i have to get the one to match the rear tint color? i wont know until i have him scrape off whats there.

i dont want to screw this up and not be happy with tint job

It is probably tint that has been applied to the inside of the windows.....a lot of people have added tint to darken the factory "mirrored" look.

BTW.....what have to your front right bumper light?....it looks broken and painted

I need to order new front corner lights to replace. Cheap fix. Also getting new antennae mast, floor mats, and some dings removed. Will look nice when done.

Clear Signals

I was thinking about them. I just don't want it to look cheap. Is there a frosted clear pair or only euro altezza clear lens.

I'm also debating on getting clear tasteful rear tails.

If you like the euro altezza style, then you should just look for a set of OEM 2001-2003 tail lights. You can get them all day long on EBay....pic below.
