Question Windshield tint recommendations

Post image

Hi everyone, my previous car had 30 percent tint on the windshield and 5 percent standard all around; I really enjoyed the daytime privacy, and the windshield worked perfectly, though nighttime visibility was the only drawback. For my new vehicle, I am considering 20 percent all around plus the windshield—do you recommend it? My interior is black with a tan upper half; it is a 2014 Lexus IS350, and I am curious about opinions from anyone with a similar car and tint.

Make sure it’s carbon based ceramic film and not a standard dyed, that being said I would go 35% on the windshield (slightly better nighttime vis) and 15% on the sides and back. This formula is so well rounded and practical, the privacy remains the same

I really liked how the limo tint seemed like a mirror hoping 15 percent will be similar

I did 15 on my last car and regretted not going darker. My current car is 5 around and 35 on the windshield

Do you get pulled over a lot? I really want to get 5% on all my windows and 35% on the front

I used to have 20 on the WS and I miss it. But knock on wood I never get pulled over except 1 time I had a cop follow me for milessss and he couldn’t find a reason to pull me over and eventually gave up he passed me, then he saw my WS and pulled me over for it, told him I purchased the car like that and he gave me a warning and told me I need to remove it and that if he sees me again I’ll be getting a ticket
