To clarify, you are asking about the factory tint and not the add on film.
My impression is the factory one is permanent. You have to switch to after-market glass (not sure if that comes non tinted)

Any chance 2004 RX models (yes, a wholly different gen) use the same rear window glass? I know they switched over to black tint in '04 and junkyard glass is reasonably inexpensive in comparison to aftermarket or custom.
Just picked up my 2003 RX300 yesterday (single owner, 115k, $4001.00 ebay sight unseen). The to-do lists and shopping lists are mounting up, but I'm loving it.
You can verify by looking up part numbers from an internet Lexus part dealers like Lexus of Atlanta. Shooting from the hip, the glaring difference in the first gen and second gen is the angle of the tail and thus the conclusion that they glass is not interchangeable.
Kudos to you for reviving an old thread instead of just starting a new one.
