Brand new Lucid with 5% Tint

[LiVnLuCiD]

Just leased the Lucid less than a month ago and love the decision to choose everything that I chose to go with the vehicle. Below is my Lucid Air Pure photos and referral code.

I recently put 5% tint all around and 30% in the front. Isn’t she pretty?

Any questions, go ahead and ask away

How do you not get pulled over and ticketed with 5% on the windshield?

 

[dwfallin]

Think they meant 30% on windshield! Looks good!

30% or 5%, both are illegal in CA.

Don’t want to speak on anything other than how the LUCID vehicle is so beautiful. Have had plenty of compliments hoping to see more in the road. Lucid is the future

Yes, sorry for the confusion. 5% all around and 30% on the windshield using the XPEL PRIME XR PLUS.

To answer your question, yes it is illegal. I live and work in the Calabasas area in the San Fernando Valley where there are plenty of vehicles with this amount of privacy tint. I feel like it isn’t as enforced in the area because of a lot of high profile people who enjoy their privacy and choose to go dark

I feel like my Lucid has been a phenomenal marketing look for the vehicle. When I tell you I get compliments, It is everyday. (Not that I care about that) I don’t see how this vehicle can get much better for future models but I am excited for the future. Besides the lack of audio (base surreal sound) and adding more RGB lighting with more enhanced detail inside of the vehicle.

How can you see at night?

Good question. Those windows are very dark.

Isn’t it a problem to add tint to a leased car ?

I was wondering the same thing.

You have to remove it when the lease it over.

At least all my leases make me remove it. (big mess)

 

[LiVnLuCiD]

Yes, I will pay to have it removed at the end.

This tint is clean and easy to see out of during the day. I’ll take some at night

 

[chris]

Oh I have no issues with my tint during the day either but I went with 35% sides and back window (legal) and 70% on the windshield (also legal). After paying to have it all installed, I'm very happy I won't have to worry about removing it (I've also never leased a car in my life)

I just tinted mine yesterday. Had no clue on this rule. We have leased literally over 2 dozen BMWs and never had that issue with them… so did not even think that it would be an issue here…. I guess will deal with it when the time comes… would love to hear about the folks who have done lease returns and their experience.

I actually don't like 5% tint. I rented a car for a week on Turo that had 5% tint on all side windows and it was too dark. It made turning at night or in parking garages dangerous and I actually was opening the windows just to see out the side when it was dark. I think 30% is perfect for up front.
