Default manual rear-window sun shades

Are the manual rear-window sun shades only part of UL package? Were they offered as an option on other trims?
My current car (02 Q45) have them and its a very nice feature if you have kids riding in the back.

Are you referring to the screen that goes up and blocks the sun in the rear windows? I have a 2004 LS and it has it. From my understanding, all LS's have it?

I believe the OP is referring to the manual shades on the rear side windows .......

Exactly.

I looked at an 03 LS without them. Maybe all 04s have them.

The rear passenger door side glass sun shades are an UL only item. The Custom Luxury package is the closest to the UL trim wise, and it doesn't have this option at all.

I have an '04 CL - no manual shades. 2004 LS catalog shows them only on '04 ULs.

I've got the UL and I have them. My favorites are the tiny little shaes that pull out sideways for the smaller rear window (quarter-window?). Gosh, Lexus thinks of everything!
