  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Hey all. I recently purchased a used Genesis, and im pretty damn happy with it. It's the 2009 3.8 white and chrome trim. There is currently no window tint on any of the windows, and I think it would look a lot better with at least some tint.

Hoping you guys can share a picture of your Genesis with window tint and what percent it is so I can get a good idea of what I like. Thanks guys!
 
Congratulations on your Genesis!

I'm a new Genesis owner too.

Here is my 3.8 with some window tint. It came that way (bought it used) and the tint at the rear windows are about as dark as you want to go.



 
Welcome to the forum :)

This is 35% all around except front windshield (all legal in Illinois)

I have 20% all around, I would suggest 35% as it looks more professional.
 
Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
Front and Front left/right 28%, Rear and Rear left right 15% (FL legal).
It's Solar Gard HP Charcoal. It makes a major improvement to the inside temp and really improves the looks. It was really weird driving it at night the first week after I had it done. Everything was so dark, now I'm used to it.

Like the pinstripes. Very seldom see them anymore.
 
I work at 3M so I might be a LITTLE biased. But I used the 3M Color Stable film. It looks great and the installer I used is the best in Los Angeles in my opinion.


Here's some pics I took post-tint.


If I recall I did 50% on the two front passenger windows and 35% on the two back doors and rear.

If you go this route keep in mind the color stable film has little 3M logos all over it but the installer can take that off. They're not that noticeable anyway but I wanted mine clean.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. My windows came tinted from the dealer so I'm not sure what percentage they are. My rear side window shades were down at the time...
