here is a sh1tty camera phone pic at night of my glacier frost (left) vs a crystal white (right):



even in that crappy pic, there is an obvious difference. the lady in the crystal white kept checking out my glacier frost.. probably wondering what the hell it is. crystal white looks 100% white in both day and night. glacier frost looks white-ish during the day, but at night.. it has the ghostly effect which blows away crystal white hands down.

in the brochure there is an IS coming from under a bridge I think and its a close up that I believe shows GFM. to me its like a flat gray having not seen one in person but since thats the color that can be matched with cashmere then its going to be the color for me once I confirm in person. the tungsten looks good in person and its the color I test drove with the lux/sport package. I just cant do black interior anymore especially on dreary days like to day here in mass where its currently 28 and overcast.

Hey Nice ride! Love the color! I was just wondering if you could post some pix of your IS in bright sunlight and in the dark? Also can you post some pix of your interior as well?

I like both colors but would go for the crystal white because it looks more sporty and you can't really go wrong with the classic white look. It's good to combine the luxury look of a lexus with a sporty color for a more edgy look.

Glacier Frost looks nice. I used to like it on the new GS at first, but it's a fad color.

Just saw a glacier frost IS in person for the first time on my way to work, nice looking & unique color, but if I were to buy a new IS, I think I'd still pick Crystal white over it.
My favourite IS350 color is still the Matador Red though

WOW, that *** looks great in that color! Love how the red lights go with it. I'd definitly say the Glacier over the white esp if your going for a luxury look. As for a sporty look the white would fit better. As for me... If I had to choose another color other than my black, I'd take the Glacier Frost.
