Got the windows tinted yesterday. Front and rear side windows 20%, rear glass 35%. $160. Love it so far. I went lighter on the rear glass to make reversing at night a bit easier.

Other than that, not much new to report. Going on a little trip this weekend to North Carolina to visit some family, so I'm looking forward to taking the Lexus since it's so great and comfortable for long distances.

Congrats on the new ride. My 2002 has the same paint, leather, carpet, but I have the grey bird's eye maple wood trim and the UL package. I went with 15% FormulaONE Pinnacle tint on side and rear windows.

I don't think any 2000-2003 LS430 has the rear ceiling drop-down mirror - mine has every option available (in Canada, at least) and I don't have a rear drop-down mirror.

Your front passenger headrest seems to have an excessive forward tilt - did someone do that on purpose?

Must have been done when they were taking dealer pics, since that was one that they took to advertise it on their website. It's in the normal position now, though.

Stan is in a higher latitude than Virginia where more tint is needed.
