That's factory, but I've always wondered if you can replicate it with aftermarket tinting.

My Huper Optik tint keeps a lot of the blue color that the factory tint has.

Are you referring to me? If so, my tint is 100% legal. I am in WA state and the tint law is no darker then 30% and reflectivity of less than 10%. They actually use a light meter to test the tint after installing it on the car and certify that it meets that criteria. Then they install a sticker on the door jam of the car saying the tint is certified legal. So, if I get stopped by the police, they ask to see the certified sticker. If you have one, you are fine, if not they give you a ticket whether it meets the legal requirements or not.

The picture in my signature makes the tint look alot darker then it is. I have no problems even at night seeing with my tint. Here are the other pics of my tint: https://mbworld.org/forums/showpost....&postcount=117

The lightest tint is 70%, the lower number the darker the film. You could have 50% on your car and it would look dark depending on the angle of the glass and time of day and if you have dark interior it will look darker than it would on the same car with light interior.
To get the Lexus look you would need a professional tinter, they would have that film. I suggest you do not use auto parts store film on your car, not only does it look bad and the bottom line of films but if you wet the electronics in the door or rear deck you could have a huge repair bill, not saying you will just letting you know.

The factory blue will still be seen with tint
