Yes you can but it will be $$$$$$.You would need to buy 2 brand new rear door trim panels and then the sunshade assemblies. Lexus door trim panels start $1k and up. The individual sunshades also start at $1k and go upward depending on the model.

That's how mine came.
Got to be honest...having small children back there…they certainly help keep it much cooler. There's also more than just the rear side window shade...there is also a separate shade that slides back to cover the little rounded side fixed windows as well. It's a pretty nice feature. Not the reason I purchased the luxury model, but a feature that I use a lot more than I thought I would. My $0.02!

A lot of us "have it like that", but we also have brains, not to waste it on something that serves no purpose to the DRIVER. If you have kids, get the windows tinted, for chrissakes. $250 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>$4000

I use the rear window and rear side window sun shades more than I had anticipated using them. When the GS 350 is parked outside on a hot day, such as this one, the sun shades help maintain lower interior temperatures.
In Pennsylvania, legally, side windows on passenger cars may only be tinted to 70% visible light transmission levels. This is the stock level on most vehicles. Therefore, the vast majority of individuals in Pennsylvania do not have aftermarket window tint installed. With that said, the GS's OEM sun shades do not count as "tint".
