As requested.

This is the black car in the reflection.


Supercharged roadster


My Jeep


7-seater Family SUV


Sports sedan


And this is the car that the GS300 is replacing. I'm selling this now. Had this since the early '90s and my 2nd BMW.

I'm not sure about the percentage as we go by light, medium, dark. But I know that what we define as dark is 30%. So, I would assume that medium is 20% and light is 10%.

On my GS, the front is fully tinted but 0% (or clear) so it blocks off heat and UV but won't give the cops a reason to pull me over. The front windows are medium (20%). The rear windows & rear windshield uses dark tint (30%).

thanks here in Wisconsin it's illegal to tint the windshield at all so I know I'd get in trouble if I put anything on there. I got pulled over with a previous car and they actually put the gauge on it. The 35% tinting I got actually was only letting 22% though so I got a warning. I knew the guy so they didn't care but it's still annoying getting pulled over just for your windows.

Default New to GS forum

Hi everyone,

I just bought a 2006 GS430. Fully loaded with the exception of radar detector and pre-collision. It has only 19200 miles on it. White ivory with 5-spoke chrome wheels. Love the car. I also have a 99 gs400. Great car but 06 gs430 is so much better.
I have a few questions. How do I start a new post without having to reply like I'm doing right now? Thanks TIA everyone. I will post my car pics as soon as I finish detail the car.
