rodge Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Hello- Sorry if this has been discussed before, I tried a search and didn't find what I need. Anyway, I have a black 2003 RX300. I love the vehicle but I'm not a fan of the reflective tint. I know that the reflective tint cannot be removed, but what I'm wondering is if I have black tint put on over the reflective tint will it look OK? Has anybody done this, and if so, what percentage would look best? I've also heard that putting more tint on can tone down the reflectivity of the factory tint, which wouldn't be a bad thing. I would like to tone that down and also increase the privacy for the cargo area and back seat. I appreciate any help and advice. Thanks!!

Thanks!! ← If you add a darker tint percentage over the top of the factory mirror tint, it will make it almost ompossible to see into, but it will not nessecarily tode down the look of the factory tint. the factory tint is 15% i believe, so say you put 5% over it. it would make the reflection stand out more outside, but inside it woudl be dark. i say go for it.

k5chevyblazer Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I do like the reflective tint and was wondering if you can ADD it to the front windows? And if so where can it be done at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll call a buddy that I know who owns a shop, maybe he can point me in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandondiem Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 check with your local police station to verify the darkness of tint that is legal on your front windows in your sate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why it is nice to have a sheriff neighbor 3 houses down that will sign off ANY fix it ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
