Does anyone have any pics of a steel grey metallic c300 almond mocha interior (light color) with 30%-35% tints all around? I am contemplating it but would love to see what others look like. I know with the lighter color interiors a darker tint is preferable but I want to keep it classy and clean looking. I've looked through the tint threads but not many pics as well as the sticky thread but its hard to decipher which percent people have with out it spelled out in the text. thanks!

I have a dark gray (smokey granite mica is what it's called) with light gray interior Lexus IS350 with 35% 3M Color Stable tint on all windows (besides windshield). No problems in 5 years.

Picture was taken in very bright sun.

Here is a photo with my steel grey c300 but with black interior. First one is a compare photo of before and after tints were installed. And the second one is of a sunny photo.

Hope this helps and honestly tints really make the car look good

P.S. it is 35% (kept it legal)

Thanks guys. Both cars look great! I definitely made up my mind and I'm going with 35% all around. I'll post pics after I get it done this weekend.

Not sure about tint laws in New Jersey (and enforcement or lack of is another issue or non-issue), regardless the best-looking tint is always uniform on all 5 windows especially on a sport sedan or coupe. In other words, use 35% on all windows or 50% tint on all windows. The 2-toned look never looks right on a sport sedan (example: 50% on 2 fronts, 20% or 35% on rear windows).

New Jersey tint laws state that you can't have ANY tint on the front windows and you can go as dark as you want on the back windows. Where I live specifically the LEO will ticket you, but i think with a luxury vehicle and 35% tint (not really that dark considering my mocha interior) I should be fine. Thanks again everyone for the responses, I appreciate you guys being kind to the newbie!

In CA we have similar laws regarding 2 front windows and inconsistent enforcement. I have been running 35% for over 10 years on various vehicles, no problems. For those concerned about unwanted attention, 50% all around works well too. Around here 20% tint on front windows is asking for trouble.

(I do have LEO in family that will take car of possible fix-it tickets for me, but haven't had the need.)
