Lol, if only I own an IS. In Arizona it's average 110-120 in the summer. Not fun, hopefully when I do get the car it can survive it out in the sun. ): I want to get a Starfire Pearl, so it'll definitely help with the heat a bit. But then again I want black interior.. so... my butt is probably going to be medium rare.

I was in Palm Springs this past weekend and it hit 105, low for the location IMO. Get black interior but make sure you have the vented seats. Never had a problem.

lol at first I thought his windows cracked because it was so hot inside.

A couple days ago, I had to park in uncovered parking and a few hours later the car got extremely hot on the outside; I can't even touch the car door for a second. Even with a windshield cover, the inside was still very hot, can't hold the steering wheel hot -- didn't do a temp reading though.

My temp reading stops at 122 F (50 degree celsius) .It's always more than that here. So obviously I would win.

I feel you there. I give it another month and we'll be in the 120s.

Wow... 105 is toasty!

For today, it was only around the high 50s. On a hot day, around 80 tops. Have to love NorCal weather.

The hottest has to be around the 90s when I was in SoCal.

All of this without tint. Just got tint so the numbers might change a bit, but not much.

I do have ceramic tint on the front and rear windows. JDM Visors would not really do very much more in the Texas heat And I have a heatshield windshield shade too... doesn't complete stop the extreme heat!!

If it's over 80 degrees, I'm already complaining that it's hot.
