DrexLex-Some areas are worse than others. Usually the tint isn't a problem. If I get a ticket; depending on the Vehicle Code they write the ticket for will determine what I do.
One VC is a removal fix-it and the other is pay a fine only.
While shopping for tint I did contact a shop that said Llumar film has a CA legal tint for roll-ups and they give you a certificate if you get pulled over.
I did not see the tint, but it might be worth checking into.

The only tint allowed is the factory green tint which is embedded into the glass like 85% or higher. I have the California Vehicle Code number for that. I keep a list handy since I work in the insurance industry.
Nice summary of all the state tinting requirements is at http://www.tintcenter.com/laws. Florida and Arizona allow some real dark tint all round!

But back to the 06 GS! I would love to see new owners post pics of their new ride. Especially if you have some new mods on it! Even as simple as a CL sticker.

We bought the GS300. I was certain we would buy the GS430 and actually made plans to do so. But after my wife drove both she liked the ride better on the GS300. I don't know if it was the 17's vs 18's, the suspension or the engine but she felt the GS300 gave her a quieter/softer ride. So, since it is primarily her car, we bought it right then and there.
I can tell you it is a great car and looks great too!

azmike-Congratulations.
Can you explain the XM a little for me. I saw a picture of the antenna in the accessories catalog and it did'nt look like a clean set-up. I appeared to be a wire coming out of the trunk with the antenna on the rear quarter panel????
Is the install clean?
Does the system work well?
Thanks

XM is totally integrated with the ML system. You change channels, pre-set channels etc just as you would with FM or AM radio. XM will give you 3 months for free. Sound is CD quality.
There is SAT 1, SAT 2 and SAT 3 (just as you would have FM 1 and FM 2) so you can pre-set 18 channels and the others you can scan or tune through as you wish. BTW, you can do this on your steering wheel control button.
Pretty much any type of music, news, traffic reports, talk radio etc is on the XM radio for about 33 cents a day.
If you have any more questions please let me know. Good luck.
