Not sure I like the colors, but I wouldn't turn it away. Still happy with the black/silver 08 look and feel.

Wow, I really do NOT like the look of the red/orange. I'm glad I have my black interior...

Yeah the re/orange is not close enough to red or orange for me to like it. It looks cheap IMO. The all black or white looks way classier. Plus throwing the blue stitching in the mix is just too many colors.

I agree with everyone else. The lone black insert on the bottom cushion and the uneven pattern of the terra cotta placement looks out of place. It does look like a last minute half a$$ attempt in my opinion sorry to say. It would have been better if the terra cotta was placed on the whole seat front like the Alpine interior already does.

pretty much what i think. if they do it like the 2 tone on the m3/m5, like the middle strip is all same color, it would be much better

this one, it's just weird

Lexus of Stevens creek? If you got to Brian's office, you'll see a picture of me and him on the wall. I was the first one to buy an IS-F in the US from them, so they wanted to commemorate it with a picture.

IMO thats kinda hot... but the BLUE around the "F" logo's inside the car.. seats and steering wheel etc... need to be gone.. or changed to a white or other color that matches the interior..

The interior doesn't really do anything for me either. The minor changes for 09 on the IP are OK though I'm a fan of more chrome. As others have mentioned the TC would have looked better being on the whole seat or as a "stripe" down the center of the seat. I'm not a fan of the color in general though and think a different red would look better.
