Very nice! I'm tempted to do the same for my 2006 SC430. I worry a bit about how the tint on the back window will go - not sure if the installers will open the top halfway to access the rear window or just go in through the back seat. Do you know how yours was done? Do you mind sharing how much you had to pay for the work? Thanks!

Hey guys
I did 35% in the front windows and 18% in the rear.
I haven’t opened the windows yet but I will share in a few days
I bought it to a Lexus dealer because I wanted to make
sure someone knows how to tint the back ( the way to do it
was to have the top opened at a 90% )
As for price, I paid $400- $150( Lexus Corp Credit) = $250 at the Lexus deaker
The dealer also changed out my corner window gasket which
is known to crack on the drivers side with no labor charge
on another note, my battery had to be jumped after sutting
For only 3 days without a battery tender. I just had the skternstor
and battery checked ( battery only 1.9 yrs old) when it had to be jumped
a month ago. Bringing the car back this Friday for another check

I think I could have went for 35% in the rear
And 55% in the front but my Tint guy
convinced me to go “ Gangster style” :0
Yea, I agreed less is more... when you start lowering
the car, doing wings and sideskirt and such, it
makes the car too “ Bling” out in my opinion
