I am looking into purchasing this car: texasimportsales.com/web/1015/vehicle/494362/2008-Lexus-IS%20F-IS-F%205.0L%20V8-Dallas-Texas

Does the tint on here look to be stock, or aftermarket/darker than stock? Hard to tell from some of the angles.

Also, what do you think of the car overall, looks to be in great shape. I am trying to bring myself into the Lexus IS-F world! Thanks everyone.

Thank you everyone for the responses. I will do everything I can to ensure there are no problems before making my purchase. I did look at the carfax and it checks out fully. I also got an AutoCheck Report and again, everything checks out completely. I live in Colorado so I am going to get a 3rd party inspection. Nothing similar for sale near me. How would I check to see if that tint is legal in Colorado? Thanks again everyone, I am hoping it checks out and I will have the car next week.

Well the car passed inspection and everything seems to be in order. I will have it next week! Very excited. I will post pictures when it arrives.

I have a random unrelated question. In looking at IS-F pics I see that some on the front bumper have little raised pieces right in front of the headlights and some don't. The one I am getting doesn't have that. My best guess is that they are the headlight cleaners? Just wondering. Thanks!

Thanks guys! I am actually having it shipped because the cost of shipping was lower than a plane ticket + gas and travel time. I did a ton of research and shopped for close to 2 months before finding something that I was happy with as far as price/mileage/condition. The only add on feature I really wanted was the ML and it has that. I have had 2 2003 IS300's and really enjoyed them, time for a step up and some more fun! I am hoping it arrives as great as the pictures look. My guess is that during my required VIN inspection by a state patrol trooper, I will be told to change the tint. I will just probably do 27% all the way around if that's the case. It should be shipping tomorrow! I can't wait!
