That really does look great. What percentages are the tint? I know I will be tinting mine eventually. Only reason I’m waiting is I want to see how well the IR barrier in the Acoustic Comfort package works through some summer days first.

It's Llumar Ceramic. 30 on the front and 15 on the back. I also had them do a 30 top strip across the top of the windshield. It's amazing how from in the car you can still see out fine even at night but from outside looking in it looks a lot darker. My car has the Acoustic comfort package but here in Florida the extra tint has really helped out. The car is a lot cooler when it's closed up when I first get in. Ceramic tint is the best to go with, you don't want to get something that is going to block your cell phone signal from inside the car or radar detector. The new tires are working out good too, the michelin primacy has a very soft rubber compound and really soaks up the bumps. Much more comfortable and less noise. The Goodyear Eagle sports Ultra high performance tires did handle better when really pushed hard around tight bends but the loss of the better handling does not bother me, this a luxury car, not a sports car.

Thanks. Ya the rears are tinted already so they are probably like an equivalent of a 50 percent tint whereas the fronts are just 30. I’m really liking the car a lot. I’m doing a tennis tournament with all my tennis gear in the back and will continue driving up north to R.I. I do a lot of driving these days. This car is a very practical and fun to drive car for me. No complaints with the twin turbo v6 power plant. It does everything I need and is fun to drive in sport plus mode around town and yet gets 31 mpg at 70 mph on the highway.

JDPE is that a 2019?. Thats about how mine looked before the tint, the tint compounded the rear windows and made it that much darker. I was not aware of any specific package on mine that would make the rear windows darker, I thought that's just the way they all came. Maybe it's a 2019 thing vs 2018? I do have the acoustic glass package and the luxury package but I don't think either of those adds tint, just mainly a barrier to the windshield to keep out sun radiation and noise.

Not sure why mine was tinted? Maybe the luxury package, JDPE UK does the Remote Parking assist work there in UK? I'm really hoping they add to USA cars but have my doubts, it would be nice. Or is it something that is more of a pain than it's worth to use? Thats kinda how I feel about the regular self parking feature as it does not seem to work so well so I don't really bother with it.

the remote parking does work in UK and is very useful. Both the straight forward and back to get in and out of garage or the park assist work great using phone whilst outside of car.
