I ran the VIN. It is, in fact, GFM.

of course it's GFM , but I noticed something else

the title says it's a '07 , but that black interior (floor) only came in '08 as I remember.
could be a mistake but if you're buying you should know that.

I have an 06' with the same color combo. Sterling with black floor. It was only an option on the GFM I think.

I noticed that GFM appears to have very little tinge of blue in pictures while the SFP is all white.. You can only see the pearl effect in person and in the shade, i dont often see it captured in pictures..

GFM is a nice color, I looked at a CPO 2008 last month in that color. I agree the blue-ish tint can be seen in certain light.

how many types of white are there? i only know of glacier frost mica and starfire pearl. i saw one that kinda looked cementy-like. i thought it was the ugliest white. i hope this is not the one.

btw, acefalcon2, im his brother temporarily using his account. ill make my own account when i actually get the car. switching over from a honda s2000 => lexus =]

It's definitely GFM. The 2006 models were offered with a choice of black or grey interior. I chose the later.

I believe the GFM can look cementy at certain angles because of how it changes color. I'd still rock it.
