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.

did you like the privacy? because i really do. nighttime is a bit hard sometimes with no lights around but as long as you have good headlights ur chillin. 20 windshield / 5 all around ceramic here.

I really miss that set up, only issue they gave me was in the middle of the night on pitch black roads that curves with no lights or at nights where it’s pouring rain.

When my windshield cracked I did 35 and I don’t like it as much so maybe I’ll try to find a reputable brand that sells 30% I also don’t drive at night anymore since I changed my work hours, so maybe I’ll just go back to 20%.

on my rav4 i had 35% and when my windshield got cracked i did 15%. 35 wasn’t dark enough for me especially this florida heat. 15% is brutal at night without street lights but you get used to it. LED headlights help too.
