### ⚠️ Important Considerations
1. **Factory UV Protection:** The Lexus RX comes with excellent factory UV protection. A Lexus spokesperson confirmed that 'all Lexus privacy glass deflects 100 per cent of UV rays, ' and even front windows cut out all UV rays . Aftermarket tint is primarily for **heat rejection** rather than UV protection.
2. **Ceramic Tint Benefits:** Multiple RX owners confirm significant heat reduction with ceramic tint, making it worthwhile even with factory UV glass .
3. **Installation Risk:** The primary risk during windshield tinting is water damage to the ECM. Choose an experienced installer who uses proper protection .
4. **Windshield Tint Legality:** Tinting windshields is illegal in many jurisdictions. Several forum members noted this, with one stating 'Tinting windshields is illegal in every state' . Check local laws before proceeding.
5. **HUD Compatibility:** Owners confirm that 70-80% VLT windshield films do not interfere with Head-Up Display functionality .
6. **Polarized Sunglasses:** Some films may show a rainbow effect with polarized sunglasses. Llumar Air 80 is reported as distortion-free .
