Scotchtin black by 3M is an aesthetic and functional winner for me. Black would go with almost any color.

here down under, metallised is not a good bet since there are reports that these films/tints messes around with the in-glass aerial antenna. Messes with the AM freq. Worst case is that the reception for both AM/FM is filled with static.

They use what is called true grey by F1 (not sure if its F1 or quantum) or the 3M scotchtint panther black.

If you can find it, go with the green that Lexus uses for the RX.

We had got some from the distrubtor, so call local Lexus dealers.
