Yeah here in Canada, you get pretty much nothing in a base model 250/200t

OP says he/she is in Almaty, which I believe is in Kazakhstan. Very different option packages over there.

Way to be creative with the artwork. Not something I would do, but appreciate when others make their car their own.

I like the roof a bit more than the mirrors, but it's all very unique! Great job!

Thank you! In Kazakhstan you only get 3 packages - Base (Executive), the one I have, Luxury (sunroof and leather seats) and F-Sport. I personally prefer Base model as it has seats with fabric and leather combined (it gets 110 F on summer and -30F on winter and you can boil or freeze your ***** off ). Price difference in KZ for Base and Luxury model is like 9K USD - basically for nothing.

Thank you Bro! No I haven't tried obsidian black. For some unknown reason, the design and curves of this car always reminds me of Arthur Escher's picture (painted on the roof), so I decided to go with it. I lived in Houston for many years and only saw IS250 twice.

Thanks. There is an adage (saying) came from USSR "There are no comrades with the same taste".

My interior is exactly the same as shown above (combined fabric and leather). Unfortunately, I dont have pictures of entire seat. Also, there are no electric controls for the seat for Base model - its all mechanical (which is awesome).

Not really. It's just an option.
