    Got mine tinted 15% front windows 45% back windows to match. 70% windshield. XPEL PRIME plus. It’s been 90 degrees + in Chester County PA all week. Great time for new tint! After that it got a well deserved bath.

    Well done going the extra step with the windshield tint. Your rig looks great and wow, that blue is a great color choice. I grew up in the Greater Pittsburgh area and have relatives who have 2 4R's in their household; they love them in the snow.

    Looks great man. I’m in TX. Maybe tint would be a good idea.

    more of a question for those who own black but blue is dark too, do you guys ever notice major streaking under the rear glass behind the second row?

    Don't have a good picture but humour me. I find these streaks don't take long to reappear after a wash. Not sure if this is how water is supposed to drain out but it's annoying.

    Looks great!

    With my old eyes if the windows were tinted like that they would call me the "curb killer". :)

    Maybe after I get both cataracts replaced...

    Thanks all!

    That blue really pops because This 4Runner was paint corrected and ceramic coated a year ago. Still looking great after a simple wash and spray wax. (Even dirty it looks good, some might say it looks better)

    tint has super high clarity I recommend doing the best stuff! Its like 20-25% from the inside looking out. No problems at night! Can’t say the same for my previous experience with 15% carbon film. Main reason was to protect my interior this stuff blocks everything you don’t want from the sun. XPEL PRIME plus.

    Nice looking rig. Besides the usefulness, that tint does add a lot to the good looks. Hmmm. May have to have this done to mine. Thanks for posting.

    Taco4R,
    Water stays in between the rear side window & the body you have to blow it out with light compressed air or keep wiping the bottom of the window, poor design like the rear hatch drains keep water on the top of the bumper. It's very annoying but only thing to do is use air or keep wiping it down till its dry.
