I would go medium. I live in southern california with no issues. I have medium on all my vehicles.

I tend to put most stuff in the trunk when we're traveling, but still I don't want items in the back seat to be a target. I see lots of SUV's come with factory tint on the back sides and rear, and but don't know if there's a standard.
As I live in CA, I would rather not risk a compliance ticket on the front windows. But will do the back sides and the rear.

Looking for advice from anyone. Thank you.

Thanks! But Expensive in my view. About $2000 for all the extra chrome parts.

They charge $280 for plastic ABS chrome for the door handles trim?! I purchased stainless steel metal door handles trim for less than $40.

Interesting that Lexus moved to an exposed position for the backup camera. I noticed the camera getting covered by water droplets when raining. Bought a fairly subtle trim that slightly protects the camera from rain. Will see how much it helps the next time it rains.

I always put JDW windows visors on all my Toyotas and Lexus’. I like the air but without the noise and great for when it rains so the windows don’t fog up.

Added this metal garnish on top of the black plastic trim to open the center console. Now it’s more LS-like.


In the LS...
