I saw that type of GS but in an exterior black color last week! That is the most beautiful interior color on the GS, looks nice with black definately. When i saw the car, it was all stock with the alloy wheels, it still look awesome. First i thought, the owner might have had a custimized interior put in, but it's a sport edition? I never knew that till now. Anyways I was jealous to see that GS roll on the streets on a bright sunny day! Never seen that kind of GS in years since the 2nd generation came out, must have been like 500 made??? lol I want that interior!!!!!

Available in the 2003 Sportdesign, black/white or the gunmetal grey exterior.

It does look fabulous.

I don't know why they never gave the 430 any sport edition action.

Some guy came to one of the first NELOC meets last summer with a black sport design with saddle interior. Unfortunately, we haven't seen him since. And he was a nice guy too.

In person, the saddle interior looks great. I loved it. I thought it changed the whole mood of the cabin, taking it upscale a notch. Sucks that there was no SportDesign 400 or 430. Damn that Lexus...

Honestly, I wonder about the whole Lexus Marketing department. They miss some obvious opportunities to make money.

this is awesome looking on black interiors

I wonder if aftermarket/custom could match it perfect to the sport design factory option??

im sure its possible, leatherskins.com im sure could match the color as close as can be and then wood trim and aluminum can be done through a variety of aftermarket trim stores online.

I love Lexus but they make some BONEHEADED moves. You could also get a white on black GS 300 sportdesign, but not a white/black GS 430

I have one of these saddle leather GS...

I'll be at this saturday's Meguire's clinic in Irvine for you guys to peep.

Loving it so far...

Also, as far as i know, these DID NOT come in V6. However, if i'm wrong, i'm going to demand a new engine since i'm pretty sure mine didnt come with one.

Wow, I had no idea that this was an option......hmmmm looks like I have to look into this as an after market mod....

Wow, I need to step away from the computer, I am going broke modding my car now.... and now that I have seen this.....I am going to be saving for this mod, but I wonder how it will look with the cream interior panels with wood accents.

Anyone care to comment on this colaboration.

Cheers,

honestly, I don't think saddle colored leather would look right with your color.

If someone in CL members have those, please post an interior photos.

THANKs
Probably the 2003 Sports Edition one. They had an option for Saddle Leather interior (all black interior + saddle leather surfaces).

I'm actually picking up a White one this week
