^ I think so, I doubt they're selling stuff that is Crystal white, since the color has been discontinued in 2007.

yup exactly, i think they did that so it'll stay whiter longer.

imo starfire pearl is less 3 stage paint looking and just white. crystal white has more depth and sexyness to it

i'm pretty sure you'd only notice a diff in direct sunlight and if your within a reasonable distance to the car

ask to see if are you able to order it without it painted
then have your local shop paint it?

Ask them if they have starfire, maybe they mistakened with the paint color name.

theres gotta be an error/typo, i'm local to westminster and i went in and talked to the parts guys. they only had starfire pearl pretty much. they had a few crystal white gfx kits but they cost more because they have to send them out and have it repainted to crystal white. because from lexus corprate they all come starfire pearl now. give them a call and find out.
