I got 3M crystalline tints (CR20) for the driver/passenger side windows and it has a blue tint and looks so different from the back windows when you look at it head on. From certain angles, it doesn’t look blue and actually matches okay but most of the time I’m looking at it head on. Does someone have a better color match that they can recommend? I’m gonna have to bite the bullet and get it redone. Looks blue head on compared to stock rear window tint Looks better from certain angles
Why Lexus does not have the front windows match the rear is a bummer. I know a tint can be applied but other new vehicles from other manufacturers tint both front and back the same.
I know it looks strange, but in NY it is illegal anything under 70%. I do 30% and knock on wood even with white have never been stopped but at times I do fear it during check points. That is why OEMs are not doing it due to states tints laws.
Our police cars down here have their windows tinted very dark so you can not see if anyone is in there. Guess it leaves them no room to complain about our windows.
Looks like I am not alone.
Just got my car 10 days ago, and I can feel the vibration coming from pedal, foot area, and sometimes to driving wheel.
My wife can't feel it and probably only me is sensitive.
aeromarkco, have you went back to dealer to check?
I have scheduled tint installation next week and will ask service for the question.
Also, I am looking online for the damping solutions; however, I prefer not to go through the whole floor dynamat installation process.
If there is any suggestion, e.g., a thicker floor mat, etc, please advise.

Hey Steve, do you mind telling us how much your dealer quoted to do the tint? I assume it's the passenger windows only? I tend to procrastinate about finding a good window tinter here but I would trust the dealership, knowing I could make their lives miserable if they screw it up.

The dealer didn't ask me to pay.
it's part of the package I purchased I assume.. ..
They haven't got enough time to do the tint on the day of car delivery so i schedule a service to do it.
I start to worry on the pedal vibration & feedback issue. It's not like the ABS, but more constant on the road with road condition or engine activity.
hopefully the dealer can do something.....
Finally did mine while weather is still warm to cure I went with 30% Xpel XR plus, very happy just right amount of darkness. From different angles they match back, but up close you can see their lighter then the factory back windows. I didn't want go with 20% to match back as I wasn't to sure how I could see in the evening, but was def tempted. I have same set up on my Audi for over 2 years and I really like Xpel XR plus it is very clear and has held up so far in Audi.
Paid 200 cash total for two front windows Xpel XR plus with lifetime warranty

yes, similar here, can't have much if any front window tinting which is fine because I don't want any.
Mine was installed by the dealer as well. Front two windows, $200 - Xpel plus. It is a little lighter, but it matches the black tone outside. From the inside, depending on the angle of the sun, may have a gold/ceramic reflection.
Def good quality Xpel Plus and good clarity, in my 19 RX I had some other brand which was ceramic as well and really nothing close in quality or clarity. Xpel almost makes it like your wearing very good Ray Bans and yet isn't to dark.
Here in NY the cops are very relaxed as long as they are on Luxury car and not limo dark, but you never know at check point. The biggest challenge in NY is you need to get it inspected every year, and any tint on front windows is automatic failure, so you need to know place that will do it for you and risk their inspection license. However NY even going to get stricter as they are coming out with new inspections stickers/machines and that will photograph the car, but I am sure these places will find ways around it. It is just ridiculous first off that you need to have a new car inspected every year and then BS of not even having very dark tint they will fail you. They also plug into cars computer to ensure your compliant with emissions.
@BlueLex350 Love the Chrome delete, my wife just got a 2024 in Cloudburst Grey and I plan to have the chrome wrapped. Did you also wrap the rear valance silver piece? any pics would be great so I show her
