Do Scion TCs come with factory tint?

My friend has aftermarket 35% installed on his TC and i'm trying to use his car to figure out how dark i want mine. I know our civics come with factory tint but i dont know about the TC's. He doesnt know of it came with factory tint.

I tried signing up at scionlife but their forums are so dang confusing

Some models of cars have factory tinted windows, most don't. If you told your salesman that you wanted tinted windows on your civic as part of the deal, he would have had them tinted upon delivery.

Whether the Tc does or not is beyond me. It may or may not, but if it is a tint that is not built into the glass, I'm fairly certain that it did not come from the factory like that.

It's like 95 or 90%, somewhere in that range. Just enough to say they tint the window against UV rays but not really enough to tell it's there.

I thought our tint was a very very slight tint... something like 90%.

If you open the window half way, you'll notice the window is slightly darker

TRUE! The place that do a tint for me. They tinted for the Ford, Lexus, Toyota dealership. It cheaper for me at the tint store. They will triple the price at the dealership.

It's not really tint, it's just solar reducing glass or some crap like that
