Maybe due to light condition/camera? Does yours look like this?

It's a lot of work to maintain but nothing beats a clean scratch-free black paint.


Yes, do get checked out even if you feel fine.
I do plan to get the whole front end PPF'd and get it coated with opticoat. Lucky I have a friend who does this for a living. It'll cost me very little.

Yes, that's the same color.

That's good. I picked 22PLE over opticoat because I read it would give more shine and opticoat is more permanent. I've seen nice results from Modesta. Post more pictures once done.

My seats look like that but that's not what it looked like in Tomex's picture. His seats appear to be black on the sides on the bottom and where the seat adjustment switches are along with the side of the bolsters. My seats have no black on them at all.

Thats correct - all base, premium and lux model seats are a single color. My flaxen seats are all brown/tan front and back.

F-Sport front seats have the back of the seat in black...it certainly shows up much more if your F-Sport seats are Flaxen/Cabernet/Riojo Red.

Non F-Sport Flaxen (uniform color all around):


Flaxen on the F-Sport (notice the back of the driver/passenger seats are black):



Riojo Red F-Sport (back of the driver/passenger seats are black):

Oh man sorry to see this. Glad you are ok. The new GS looks sharp. Love the triple beams.

I guess I never noticed, probably b/c that's the first F Sport flaxen interior I've seen. I never took notice of the red seats with black backs but that looks good though I prefer the total flaxen seats of the luxury better than the flaxen/black combo.
