That is strange because it is right side up for me. Are some of you that are seeing my pic upside down located on the other side of the world in China?
Mine cost $250
Cool option but for me, I don't even use my standard moon roof. But I love the blacked out roof look. If I could not do a wrap I would of ponied up for the glass roof. Changes the entire lines of the car. Kind of lowers the look of the car.
I think Mike stole my car... =) We got the same red/black UL/ML loaded. I love it! I like the extra light into the back seat with the glass room. Errr...I thought I uploaded some pics.
Definitely biased here but I think the glass roof looks its best on a white ES.
I agree, I waited a couple months to receive the color I wanted. I just put on the black pearl badges and PVD black chrome wheels, looks absolutely great.
You don't typically notice the tint unless its next to another vehicle, but I went with the Air Blue 80 tint by Llamar, including the windshield. The rear window is 15%.
The car looks pretty sharp, my goal was to keep it as factory looking as possible, with a touch that only a car enthusiest would see.
I think white is the only color to really pull this off, but thats me.

Looks great! Only difference I see is mine came with the door moldings. I think your's looks cleaner. Makes me want to pull them off!

I think that the only cars that had that blue tint in a production vehicle was the Mercedes CLK's from the early 2000's (I owned a 2001 CLK55 AMG). I LOVED that look and agree that it does add some class to the look. I also would ike to understand the badges. Did you have to order them as part of the originl order or did they remove the originals and then put on the black ones? Do you have any pictures of the bardges in place?
I'll try and take some pics tonight. The badges were ordered from Sewell Lexus online. They are not cheap by any means, but with the black chrome wheels, it just tied everything together.
Oh, I forgot, I bought the Black pearl wheel center caps also. You can find them on Sewell under the IS models
That looks really nice. Did you have the wheels refinished to the black chrone or did you replace the original wheels completely with a new set? If you had them refinished, who did you have do them? I had a black chrome back on my TL and really liked them so I am thinking about having the ones on my X5d refinished using PVD but a friend of mine who ones his own powder coating business here in Charlotte.
One thing about the pano roof that I noticed in the BMW is that it does allow more road noise into the cabin when the glass is closed but the protective cover/sunshield has been retracted. After a while, you tend to not notice it as much. I expect that this would also be the case in the ES as well.
