Talking Woot Woot! 25% Tint done.

2009 TL SH-AWD Grigio with Umber interior.

Finally got it done, 25% tint done at AutoFX in Tacoma for $279. I really enjoy the car as is. Maybe put in lowering springs before summertime. Pics taken with a Nikon D5000. Thanks for looking.











For the Family Man, Recaro car seat for the tykes. Fits perfect in the backseat.



Found this storage useful.

OEM Underbody skirts will look great


....Hoping you're a cop? or some sort of person licensed to carry?

Nice - and clean car. Believe or not, never saw this side storage in my car before

I didn't want to get any tints, but it looks good on the 4G I think. Mine is scheduled for next Saturday, but will not go so dark, thinking of legal 35% or 32%.

I think anything below 35% is NOT legal here in WA. I have never had any issue with the cops with my tints on any of my previously owned cars though. Thanks for the compliment.

Yeah I have a concealed license weapons permit to carry. BTW, your 4th gen TL is hands down the sickest ride here! Helped me pull the trigger on getting mine.

Beautiful..... I agree. Every car must have tint.
I almost opt for the same color.
Keep it clean.

35% or higher in Washington on the front windows and whatever you want around the back.
If you go darker, they generally won't pull you over for it. It is a secondary offense. And if you do get pulled over, just make sure to lower your window all the way before they get to it.

Car looks good. The grey looks great when cleaned up.

OT, I have a license to carry a concealed weapon too but I still get hassled for tint. Most of the time they stop me for the tint but its their way to find out if there is more. Once they find out I am on the up and up they don't even give me a warning or a citation for the tint
