Now on to go tint my window!

Wait....so what is the stock tint on the XB2 rated in the front? I know the rear is 20%.

Tint One

"Clear" glass still blocks 20-30% of light. Some windows will actually say min trans 70%. The majority that I meter is in the 72-78% range.

from what i read here in texas the legal in front is 25% for side windows, and rear windows no restrictions

All standard auto-glass is tinted, usually green. It is more noticeable in a convertible, where you can compare-and-contrast, making it VERY visible. Heck, just compare your windscreen and an open side window, in ANY vehicle.
Usually, the difference is a built-in subtle green tint.

Here in Cali..the most common combination is 20% for all windows rear of driver and 50% for two fronts. You want classy look...go 35% all the way around. Most domestic pre "shaded" vehicles are 20% so if in Hawaii you can go that dark or even darker at 5% "Limo" tint it becomes a matter of preference. Good luck brah! Hope this newbie's info helped.

yep i murdered out my back windows pretty much and just keep the front ones at 30% or you will have afun time trying to get the car inspected in Texas

All the car company's are going with different hues lately. New Lexus and scions are more tan than anything. Not the xb's but frs for sure.
