This black 2024 Lexus RZ 450e received 70% ceramic window tint on the front and rear side windows, rear glass, full windshield and panoramic roof. Because 70% film is extremely light, the vehicle retained a nearly factory appearance while receiving ceramic-film heat rejection and UV protection across every major glass area.

Most people assume window tint has to be dark to keep a vehicle cool. That's one of the biggest misconceptions we hear at Dope Tintings.

Recently, we tinted a 2024 Lexus RZ 450e for a customer who wanted maximum heat rejection and UV protection without changing the factory appearance of the vehicle.

Instead of choosing a dark shade, we installed 70% Ceramic Window Tint on:

• Front side windows
• Rear side windows
• Rear glass
• Front windshield
• Panoramic sunroof

The result was a Lexus that looked almost factory while providing outstanding comfort and protection.

This Lexus is the customer's daily driver. Unlike many customers looking for privacy, this owner had completely different priorities.

His goals were:

• Maximum heat rejection
• Maximum UV protection
• Medical-related sun protection
• Keeping the vehicle looking factory
• Maintaining excellent visibility during the day and night

He specifically did not want dark windows. Instead, he wanted the highest level of performance possible while keeping the appearance nearly unchanged.

For customers with similar goals, 70% ceramic is often one of the best options available.

One of the biggest advantages of this installation was that every major piece of glass was covered. That included:

• Side windows
• Rear glass
• Windshield
• Panoramic sunroof

This is especially important on modern luxury electric vehicles like the Lexus RZ 450e. Large glass surfaces allow a significant amount of heat into the cabin. Leaving the windshield or panoramic roof untreated means you're still allowing a tremendous amount of solar heat inside.

By covering every window with ceramic film, the customer received the maximum benefit from the installation.

This is something we explain to customers every day. Darker doesn't automatically mean cooler.

Many people believe the darkest tint blocks the most heat. That's simply not true.

Modern ceramic technology is designed to reject heat without relying on darkness alone. That's why someone can install 70% ceramic film and still enjoy outstanding heat rejection while keeping a light, factory-style appearance.

This customer is proof of that.

The vehicle featured a black exterior, making it look sleek even before the installation.

After applying the 70% ceramic film, the appearance stayed remarkably close to factory. From just a few feet away, you could barely tell the vehicle had been tinted. Up close, however, you could see the clean, professional finish.

For customers who don't want dark windows but still want premium protection, this is exactly the look many are after.

The day this Lexus was completed, the outside temperature reached 89 degrees. That gave the customer the perfect opportunity to experience the benefits of ceramic tint immediately.

As soon as he got into the vehicle, he noticed a significant improvement in cabin comfort. When he picked up the Lexus, he told us it was exactly what he had hoped for.

There's nothing better than hearing a customer say the installation met every expectation.

Some customers consider very light ceramic film because they need additional protection from sunlight without substantially darkening the vehicle. However, a medical condition or doctor’s recommendation alone does not automatically authorize aftermarket tint on the windshield or front side windows in New Jersey.

Drivers must complete the applicable NJMVC medical-sunscreening process and receive approval before relying on a medical exemption. Approved installations must also follow New Jersey’s light-transmission, reflectance, documentation and installation requirements.

One thing we've learned after tinting more than 30,000 vehicles is this: you don't need dark window tint to block heat.

Many customers automatically assume darker is better. The truth is that modern ceramic films are engineered to reject heat without dramatically changing the appearance of your vehicle.

If your priorities are comfort, UV protection, or medical-related concerns, 70% ceramic may be one of the smartest choices you can make.

At Dope Tintings, we don't recommend film based on price. We recommend it based on your goals.

Customers from Pennsauken, Cherry Hill, Camden, Delran, Cinnaminson, Mount Laurel, Maple Shade, Collingswood, Burlington County, and Camden County choose Dope Tintings because we take the time to understand what each customer wants before recommending a film.

With more than 20 years of experience and over 30,000 vehicles tinted, we've built our reputation on honest advice, clean installations, and quality workmanship.

Does 70% ceramic tint block heat? Yes. Premium ceramic film can provide excellent heat rejection even though it appears very light.

Can you tell a vehicle has 70% tint? From a distance, most people won't notice it. Up close, you can usually tell a professional film has been installed.

Is 70% ceramic good for medical concerns? Many customers choose 70% ceramic because it offers UV protection and heat rejection while maintaining a light, factory-style appearance.

Should I tint my panoramic sunroof? If your vehicle has a panoramic roof, tinting it can help reduce heat entering the cabin and improve overall comfort.

Is ceramic tint worth it on an electric vehicle? Absolutely. Electric vehicles like the Lexus RZ 450e have large glass areas, making ceramic tint one of the most effective upgrades for improving cabin comfort.

This real 2024 Lexus RZ 450e demonstrates that ceramic window film does not have to look dark to provide meaningful performance. Installing 70% ceramic film across the side windows, rear glass, windshield and panoramic roof preserved the Lexus’s factory-style appearance while addressing every major glass area responsible for solar heat entering the cabin.

New Jersey drivers considering windshield or front-side-window film should also understand the applicable tint restrictions and medical-exemption requirements before installation.
