Default Factory Tint on IS250
I picked up my IS250 on Sat. I paid 350 for my tinting assuming it would be factory tint (got the dark 35 tint). Anyhow, I'm gonna call them tomorrow to ask why it isn't factory.....just in case they give me the sales pitch, anyone know if Lexus provides the factory tint that dark of a shade? My friend said it probably isn't factory b/c it's too dark.

Thanks in advance!

the only factory "tint" lexus has is actually part of the glass, it just blocks UV rays, anything else isn't "factory", its more just the dealer tinting it themselves

the only dark factory tint you will ever find is on the rear half of a SUV or mini-van.
