Back to Lexus after short departure. Hi Guys!
I've been on CL for a while but I moved out here about a year ago so thought I'd re-introduce myself to the north cali guys. I moved here from Chicago.
I just bought another 06 IS350 - SGM with Nav/ML/Luxe/Full OEM ground effects kit.
Here is a rundown of my vehicle history.
Had an 02 Sebring Silver S2000, then bought an LS400 as a daily beater.
Sold both and bought an 06 IS350 - It was Glacier with Nav/ML/Luxe/Parking Sensors(wish my car had these now, there seem to be very few out there with this feature)
Then sold that and bought another S2000. An 06 Laguna Blue.
I just sold the S2k, and now I'm back in with the SGM IS350.
I don't plan on doing many mods, but I'm really digging the simple look of the car with the factory lip kit. It has the standard oem 18's as well. And the lip spoiler on the trunk. Windows are tinted at 20%. Probably get some aerotech red outs though.
Good to be back.

Welcome back! Careful with the 20% tints.. the CHP here are fierce with the tinting. Especially with all the racing going around, they tend to be pretty **** on everyone.

I'm not 100% they are 20%, it came on the car. My last IS had 20% and I can't tell if this is 20 or 35. I think its 20 though.
My S2k had 20% and I've been out here a year and no issues with CHP (knock on wood). But I may remove the fronts and do 35% later on.
Thanks for the heads up

Looks like you can't stay away from S2K's and IS350s 
I remembered when you sold the IS for the S2000 back in the 2IS section. Did you need more than a 2-seater or you just miss the TORKS?

Regarding tint, I took a closer look and it looks like the fronts are definitely lighter than the rears. So it looks like the rear window is 20%, the rear passenger windows are 20 and the front driver and passenger are 35. Hopefully this will reduce any chances for a ticket.... I really love the look of this car with tints too.

20s are pretty dark already in the front, and yeah the cops are giving out tickets for them.. gas prices went up and CHP need to meet a higher quota.
