Default Back door sun shades

Is there anyway we can add the sun shades for the back doors on the 2013 GS 350?

+1 baller status for an authentic F-sport to have rear sunshades from a lux. I'd love to have a set with my cabernet interior!!

Yes you can but it will be $$$$$$.You would need to buy 2 brand new rear door trim panels and then the sunshade assemblies. Lexus door trim panels start $1k and up. The individual sunshades also start at $1k and go upward depending on the model.

LOL. Anyone who spends $4000 on shades for their REAR doors needs to have their license revoked. Good Lord, what a waste of money.

That's how mine came.

Got to be honest...having small children back there…they certainly help keep it much cooler. There's also more than just the rear side window shade...there is also a separate shade that slides back to cover the little rounded side fixed windows as well. It's a pretty nice feature. Not the reason I purchased the luxury model, but a feature that I use a lot more than I thought I would. My $0.02!

A lot of us "have it like that", but we also have brains, not to waste it on something that serves no purpose to the DRIVER. If you have kids, get the windows tinted, for chrissakes. $250 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>$4000

That is incorrect.

$250 < $4000

I have the shades in my 2006 GS and my 2013 GS. I hardly ever use them.

Buy screening at Home Depot and cut it out to fit the windows. Then you can roll the windows down and still keep the bugs out!

Just because it cost $4000.00 to outfit the car with rear sun shades after the fact...doesn't mean that someone like me who ordered a Luxury eddition paid $4000.00 extra for sun shades??? The Luxury has a lot more options than that and my car still didn't cost $4000.00 more...not even close.

I use the rear window and rear side window sun shades more than I had anticipated using them. When the GS 350 is parked outside on a hot day, such as this one, the sun shades help maintain lower interior temperatures.

In Pennsylvania, legally, side windows on passenger cars may only be tinted to 70% visible light transmission levels. This is the stock level on most vehicles. Therefore, the vast majority of individuals in Pennsylvania do not have aftermarket window tint installed. With that said, the GS's OEM sun shades do not count as "tint".
