Tinted the windows and tail lights today. Windows are 15% all around. Tail lights are the lightest tint that the shop had, not sure if it is rated on a % scale.

For windows, I was considering doing the front two windows with 27% tint but ended up wanting a more cohesive look from back windows to front. I like the look of it. For the tail lights, I wanted to mimic how other manufacturers like Porsche have slightly darker tail lights on their sportier models (look at regular Cayenne tail lights compared to Cayenne GTS tail lights). I am thrilled with the result. This photo makes them look darker than they really are because the car is in the shadows. The photo with the sun glare shows that there is still some red visible. In person they still look red, just a bit darker red. The white space for the blinkers is still white, I can barely see a change at all. Brake light visibility hasn't changed at all. Paid $380 total from a reputable shop and quality tint.

It came out great and looks perfect. I haven't owned a car without tint since my very first car. It definitely adds to the sportiness of the Stinger.

Can you post some better shots of the taillights? I did the inverse the other day and wasn't totally happy with the results and would like to see how yours came out.
