I can confirm that Titanium Carbide Gray is infact Incognito. I painted my RC truck the same color scheme as me LE, and the name they had for 1L8 paint is Titanium Carbide Gray.

The US market LC500 has a similar feature. It was needed to pass pedestrian safety standards while still having a low hood line.

Looks like the "First Edition" comes in whatever color you choose. And I noticed shift **** and knee pad is covered in ultrasuede. See this Instagram post of someone in Japan checking the car at a dealership display setting

I will say, the orange/brown wood looks soooooo much better in these pictures. It looks more brown than orange. I’m still not a fan of the black clock surround though. It looks less premium as it looks more like a flat black cheap plastic

Thought I saw something yesterday where Grecian Water was not available. That’s too bad if it’s true.

In Japan, the shade is an IS300 exclusive. Makes no sense but whatever. As far as ASC, lets be real. You won't be needing it with the V8 under the hood. I can't comment on how it sounds on the IS500, but on the IS350 it sounds absolutely disgusting. I made sure to turn it off as soon as I got the car.

^It's always off in my car too. But without the ASC dial, does that mean its permanently on or off? Lol.
