Yes it's tolerable. I have tint and I ALWAYS use my sunshade during the summer.

Wow man! Car looks great! Probably the cleanest black on black GS on here hands down. You could trade it in for being pretty much a brand new car.

What do you mean? It's leather conditioner from Lexus.

I think it works pretty well. It initially makes it slightly darker, but the color goes back to normal and the leather just feels....better. Not to mention it smells like coconuts!

Pina Coladas, anyone?!

I'm pretty sure all car companies do that because if it was all black it would just be too dark. The headliner is actually grey on cars with black interior.

After switching out my tan interior to black interior, I love my car so much more. It just feels like a nicer car for some reason. I like the wood ashtray and 01+ gauge cluster trim you added. Makes the interior look a little newer. Only thing missing is the center A/C vent and steering wheel to look like a GS430.

Yup the only things I need are 01+ inner tail lights (if someone has a set for sale, let me know), A/C vent, and the wood steering wheel. Then my car will be identical to the 430.

I've been in a few GS's with tan interior and I must say I love my black interior. I don't have anything against tan, but I'm glad I have black.
