Haha it's just the reflection of the grey paint on the post next to the car. I had to run down to check after you spotted this!!

Welcome to family, I just got a black one too! But with black interior. I feel like the red reminded me of the Angels too much as I am a dodger fan haha

I'm really struggling to decide what tint to get?


I'm used to 20% tinted on a clear window and I want that same darkness in my IS. Think I should go 30%? Thanks!

Congrats man! I recently got a new F Sport last month. I need tints too.. I might go 35% all around. I think it doesn't look as nice when it's dark dark on a Lexus.. But what do I know.

Welcome to the Forums and Congrats on your new Lexus!!!

Robsc... I was a born a Dodger and I still bleed blue so I feel you... but that Rioja Red Interior is KILLER.

I had to break and get my white IS w/ Red Interior haha.... To make sure I don't flip I keep my Blue LA Dodger in the Window Area haha!

Yea I agree. I want to go 35% all around after looking through the tint thread. Unfortunately my tint guy only has 5,20,30,40.... Anyone know if there will be much if a difference between 30 and 35 percent?
