Perfect choice! That is the color combo I wanted...so hard to find. I love the white exterior but never got a white car since the interior is usually lighter which for me is harder to keep clean.

Congratulations on the beautiful GS 460. I just got my Blk/Blk a few days ago and can't find anything not to like about it.

I was wondering if anyone knows the planned production numbers for the GS 460 compared to other models. Based on comments made by the dealer, Lexus doesn't plan to flood the market with them, making them fairly exclusive.

Ohh... i love starefire pearl/black. ONE thing thou, when you walk up to your car in a parking lot under certian light conditions, if your car is CLEAN the brightness of the paint will hurt your eyes

Wow... beautiful car. Enjoy every second of it... and please be safe, especially this holiday weekend. People are driving like maniacs... I was almost in 2 accidents yesterday, and was driven off the road and onto the median by someone who just decided not to stop... thank God there was open space to my left for me to turn onto. My eyes are usually glued to my mirrors, and it saved me this time. All for some idiot to get someplace 2 seconds sooner...

Again... enjoy, and you picked an absolutely beautiful color combo!

Thanks for the kind words guys, really appreciated, been so hectic in this holiday schedule so didn't really have time to truly enjoy the car, all i can say is, this car is everything I've dreamed of now to answer people's question

hehe, anytime! whenever I am in town and I haven't even gone past 3k rpm yet, I want to break it in nicely before I punch it. We can meet up then

$3000 on APSSS was the deal breaker, I am sure a nice set of coils can make the car handle better in 1/2 the price

thanks! I am definitely down for a meet if i am back in CA that is..hehe

You have to really push it for them not to drill the plates, that's usually the FIRST thing they do when the car gets in. I had to sign a waiver.

Like several people on here, I've gone through the whole modding scene at earlier stage in life, I will try to keep this car classy with very minor mods, already got the clear bra installed HID fogs going in and some tint soon. More minor stuff to come later

btw if you dont mind me asking how much did you get off MSRP?
it is DEFINITELY a rare color still, I almost ordered mine then I found out there are 13 white/black GS coming in the month of December to western regions, so I just had them secure one for me.

FYI, there is one white/black GS460 in longo now without illuminated door sills and the white/black gs460 just got into the dealer of Glendale Lexus 2 days ago.

I am glad you got out of all those safely! CA roads are definitely filled with road rages and careless drivers. Another reason why our RX400h got totalled

you know, it really is nice to be a big dealer, they can easily secure all incoming cars, that's exactly won me over because they got the car before anyone else.

images limitation on the previous post, so here are some pictures from my first mod, through our exclusive CL sponsor - Aerotech for some clear bra installation!

Francisco and Jason are such nice people! I can't believe I just looked into clear bra now, this will be the first thing I do on all my car purchases now!

venture clearbra on full hood/bumper & parking sensors as it does not affect the detection/Nav Screen. You can't even see the film until you are like 2" away from the car



and such a small world, I ran into another CL member - Tommy doing the exact same thing, but with a nice little touch on the reflectors to reduce the orange effect. It looks great!
