Yes - I had the windows on my new ES tinted at the dealer's. They did a great job. Cost was included in the price of the car.

I also had them put on a spoiler. I'll try to post pictures if I can figure out how to do it.

The easiest and free way to share pictures is with www.photobucket.com. Create a free account, upload pictures in there, and share anywhere. In a worst case, you can just zip 'em up and upload to free fileshare services like www.rapidshare.de or www.yousendit.com (just make up an e-mail address, doesn't matter, it will give you a share link).

How much did your dealer charge you for a tint? What % (tint darkness) did you get? I will be buying my ES350 in a week or two, so need to get all this info before going to my dealer for a price negotiation. Still hasn't picked the color yet

Yes! We have it and is a very nice touch. Sets of the rear deck very well.
Congrats on your new Lexus. We are very pleased and know you will be as well.

I've been a Lexus owner since 1990 and was told this by the Lexus Corporation.
Ours came installed. We have been with Lexus since 1991 and never had a spoiler but
dealer stated ours arrived with it installed. I know some of the options are installed at port
before car enters transport.

So, how about tinting. Anybody got that for their ES350 from dealer?
The pictured GS has a different spoiler than ES350. Smaller spoiler on GS

I guess they mixed it up with other ES350 pictures (and I was wondering why all the shots with a spoiler are on a different color car LOL!!!). BTW, that review of ES350 is terrible, done by some Detroit woman reporter who definitely got off the wrong side of the bed...
Wrong side of the bed is being kind and something she could reverse with time. What’s
ailing her is permanent.

Since yours came installed with a spoiler, can you please post some pictures of it? Hopefully, with a full side view of the car and not just a trunk with a spoiler.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Okay Lexus owners. I just found this website that is a great tool if you want to have an online service manual for your '07 ES 350 or any Lexus/Toyota/Scion. I'm looking into installing the XM tuner in my car and came across the install procedure of the rear spoiler. It is a factory or dealer installed item, if the car didn't come from the factory that way. The installation manual states to drill and use adhesive to install the rear spoiler. Ours came already installed. I'll post some pics tomorrow some time.

You forgot to mention this website ain't free. It looks like to get an access to all these resources, you have to sign up for an account and provide your billing info So, it will cost you either $10/per day, or $50/per month, or $350/year to subscribe to them...

Waiting for pics of your ES350 with a spoiler!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!

$10/day ain't bad considering the price of the manuals if you were to order them. Just make sure no one else is sucking up your bandwidth (if you share it with your family or roommate or what not) and go on a downloading spree for one day. (technically two if you know when to subscribe)

That's what I did! Sorry, I did forget to mention there was a fee. I downloaded all the info I would need to install the XM plus the part of the spoiler install and other stuff I thought I would need later on. If you pay for one day your subscriptions expires the following day at midnight.
