Default Gray interior ?'s

Iv been looking at a Breakwater Blue with a gray interior. In my past IS300 I had black interior. The advantage is that the 350 has black carpet.

How hard is it to keep the lighter interiors clean?

I want black...but this is a good deal.

Lemme know what you guys think!

Beige is a pain. Grey is not bad unless you are a slob. Black looks great but is hot. Grey interior has black carpet.

Grey leather/black carpet = perfect.

i have light grey interior and its not hard to clean. i think having the light grey contrasts best with rest of the black in the car.

How many miles you guys got on your gray interiors?

Pics...Im still trying to convince myself i should go with the gray interior. I like the contrast of the interior with these colors.

I'll post a pic when I get a chance of the actual car.

What do you use to clean it?

I cant remember what the stuff is called!!!

Light grey + black carpet is the best! Get it the two tone interior is way better lookin all black is played out. As long as you don't spill stuff all over your car your golden. If you do then get black lol

No drinking or eating in the car. IF i do eat...I'm not in motion. Friends wont have a choice. My only problem will be my son. He's got a good arm for throwing things. :O

I have it on my 06 350 and as long as you take care of it and keep it clean it will be fine. wipe it down once a month with leather wipes and it will look good for years.

Mine is 2007, I have beige seats, plastics, leather, carpets, roof, scuff plates, everything beige! It gets annoying sometimes.

Grey has some black combination, so I think you'll be fine.

My '06 has the gray/Sterling interior. Not a problem at all and it looks great with the black carpet/accents. 'Course I'm sorta nuts and keep my car clean in and out at ALL times.

i have blue oynx pearl with the grey interior and i wasnt a fan of grey interior before i saw this car in person. i was skeptical at first still but love it now. i think the blue contrasts with the grey very nicely and it's unique.
