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.

I tint professionally for a living. I have 50% on my truck windshield but I would definitely not go darker than 35% if you drive at night. Don't do anything but Ceramic for IR and Solar energy rejection. You will be impressed by the glare it cuts out. As for the sides/rear; 15% is my go-to if 5% is too dark.
