Default Newbie Question

planning to get a spoiler for my 2008 IS250.

The problem is i don't really know what color is my car =.=!!

Is there any sticker will show you the color code somewhere on the car itself?



Tungsten Pearl?
Starfire Pearl?

Thanks all

tungsten = silver; starfire = white. the difference between these 2 should be easily figured out. If you have Glacier Frost Mica--well, in some light situations it looks white, or blueish, or gray (like primer).

Did you try registering your VIN on the Owner's page on Lexus.com? That will tell you exactly what color your car is, if there is any doubt.

Look like GFM to me.

There is a sticker in the drivers side door jamb that has the paint code on it. It is in the line that starts with: C/TR: and it will be the first 3 number/letter combo. On this pic that I swiped off Ebay the paint code is 212.

Actually I have a Bushmaster M4A3 but it made me shorten up my handle when I registered.
