Thumbs up New 08RX350 - Pics!

Got it for $400 over invoice from Thomson Lexus near Philadelphia (ask for Bob Young, great guy/salesman). Savannah w/ivory, premium plus w/options.

Questions - Has anyone tinted the front two windows to match the rears? What website has the best deals on OEM all-weather floor mats?
Thanks!

Great color! Did you not want the 7 spoke liquid graphite rims?

Thanks!
The RX back windows are tinted in darker color, but only in color. It is not the kind of tint film to reduce the EV rays which is the main reason for tinting - to reduce UV rays to reduce interior fading and craking, not just to darken the color. If you want to tint your windows, you should tint front and back, don't leave the back windows out just because they look darker in color.

When I bought a new car, I always put window tinting in the last minute before I signed the deal. The dealers always gave in and did it for free for me. It cost almost nothing for them.

Interesting that PA allows front side window tinting. It is illegal in California.

Try ebay for the mats, they are the cheapest.

Beautiful - looks exactly like my '04 - only newer (and better).



Yes, you can have the front side windows tinted to match by your dealer - or by any good tint shop. Most states will not let you exactly match the level of tint, but the color is correct. In Texas we are limited to 35% tint on the sides, and if you look long enough, you can see the front is still a tiny bit lighter than the rear.
