Fantastic. Looks a little darker than my 35% tint.

Looks great. I have been procrastinating on doing this. Are there different quality levels of tint? What level or type did you chose?

That looks excellent stoffer... I'm a "tint guy" and think all cars look better with tint. I see you're in Texas which probably makes tint legal... here in NY they see tint as a revenue raiser for local government... lol All the same, I tint my windows on every vehicle I own... my wife on the other hand... still working on her. I just did 35% on my XF S/C and from my opinion, it makes the car "complete." I did 35% over 15% simply for the "respect thing" for law enforcement personell (doesn't hurt that we are friends with a State Trooper and have an official trooper sticker over my reg). My preference would have been darker... but thumbing my nose at LEO isn't my style...

Nice car!!

If tint is legal in your state 15% in back and 35% in front is the way to go but if it's not legal Auto Window Tint Laws | TintCenter Window Tinting then the lighter the less attention you may get from "the man." Here in NY, any tint is illegal... the factory tinting (if you could call it that) is the limit except for the rear window (not rear passenger but rear window only). I may be wrong but I think our cars are already at 70% light passage but not completely sure.
If links are not allowed I'm sorry... some forums don't allow them...

I took it to my buddy who does tint work and I told him as dark as possible without getting a ticket


we had the car back at the dealership for some air ride work (the sensor got wet) and they said the tint makes the car much much better looking
