For those of us with kids - although this is not a US model option, I was reading through the PDS manual for the GS F and found there are rear side window shades you can get from Lexus that fully integrate with the car. They're not exactly cheap like going to the baby aisle at Target, but they're designed for our cars and fully cover the window(s). I am looking into acquiring a set of these and will advise when I have them in hand.

Part numbers are:

Right Rear 65960-30041 and 65907-30070-C0
Left Rear 65970-30041 and 65908-30070-C0

The first number is for the small round section at the rear, the second is for the main window. Description is " CFRP COMPOSITE & SUN SHADE-WITH(BACK WINDOW & REAR DOOR WINDOW), BLACK"

I also did some poking into the rear window sunshade. It appears to be able to be installed, and the wiring is there to connect it. Just not sure about the body ECU being programmed to work it. You need to replace the rear deck panels and install the sunshade as well as the switch. The parts are about $2.1k new, so it's a pretty significant gamble to determine if it will work or not even if you're buying junkyard parts.

Shade - 64350-30152-C0
Package Tray Panels - 64330-30C13-C0 and 64340-30161-C1 (for Mark Levinson equipped vehicles)
Switch - 84940-75041
Sunshade Relay - 85911-30050

Last but not least, I did the homework on the wiring harness for the trunk closer. The wiring is there. The parts to implement are again, not at all inexpensive, but at least if you buy the parts, the wires and connectors are present. I have not fully priced this out, but it again will be well over $1k for new parts.

Thank you for the time, research, and posting. Your switch and relay are the same part number for the switch on the sunshade. Do you have the relay part number?

Thanks,

Wow... expensive

I would like to know the price of the rear passenger window shades. I think these used to be options on the lux package on the standard gs. I know the small window is a pull out but the big part looks like the door panel needs to be switched out to fit the shade roll. also it looks like the frame may need to be replaced to get the hooks.

Edit: frame for hooks are 67674-30151 (left) and 67673-30151 (right) 97$ each. large shade is 283$ and small one is 105$ each. so 500$ each side plus looks like some cutting in the door panel is required unless you can find the door panel. I'd do it but keep me updated if you find a cheaper route to get this done

Fixed the part number for the relay. Yes, it appears the door panel itself needs to be changed at ~$1k each for the shades if purchased new. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Might be easiest to find a lux model in a junkyard and get all this stuff from a donor car...

Suggestions on how to look up junkyard inventory?

Start with car-part.com. Not sure you'll find such a specific piece but it's worth a try.

I could not share the search results but here is an excerpt of some results. Prices are too bad either.

awesome. That was the only one I found too. they seem to sell the door trim the cheapest so if its still there when my car arrives i may do it

whats interesting about this parts list is looking through the door trim details it doesn't look like theres a separate parts number for panels with or without the shade so maybe it does have to be cut out. the frame molding part indicates shade/no shade though

If you look at the part numbers with the tool I am using, I see the complete assembly, but not just the board available individually. So it would seem purchasing just the shade may very well require modifying the main board. If you order the main board, all the options are there for colors, CFRP, and sunshade with different part numbers. If you order the parts from Lexus new, it looks like $1365 for the main board with shade (in the red color I need with CFRP), the window frame with hooks, and the small shade for the round rear window. This is getting into the definite maybe category as I doubt the parts I remove will have anything even remotely like that value. $2700 to do both doors is getting into the "what are we really wanting to achieve here" category.

I've been trying to refrain from posting to this thread but, why not just tint the windows

Because that doesn't solve the problem for me. Yes, it darkens the window, but I don't want them permanently dark and that's what tint does.
