Just curious Does anyone use the white leather IS-F as a daily? Anyone put covers over the seats?


Ryan, how rare is the white leather? I was on autotrader and all had black/blue stitch leather.

knowing many sc430 owners with the ecru interior, i don't think it will be pretty

and honestly i don't like how the two tone is done in the is-f with white interior

I was very skeptical about the white leather, but once I saw it I was sold. It looks stunning, my outside colour is mercury, and it meshes together well (as opposed to black exterior with the white leather). The white and black interior in my opinion works together fawlessly, and it looks so rich, quality.

Good question about how the white leather is holding up, I'm curious as well! As far as your question about how rare the white leather is, it is rare but F's with it aren't impossible to find. You can always special order it if your not in a hurry to get one

Looks so good but I would be scared that I would get it dirty.
Just makes the whole interior pop.

Though it does make the interior pop, I cant see how you could drive it everyday without getting it dirty in little places. the only white i have in my car is on my steering wheel and thats a pain to keep clean

LOL, I'm afraid with my 'kids'....that's exactly how they'd end up.

I'd love a white interior but it's just not practical for me.
I have had it b4 but had to be very selective on its use.
There are always covers, but that defeats the original purpose and covers the beauty.

I want these seats!

LexFather

Anyone? I can't find any in Atlanta on any lots (used ones) to see how the wear/tear is. Do they make seat condoms?

I've had the white/black seats in my Blue IS-F for almost a year now. I got the car the first week it was released on February 6, 2008. I can tell you that in my experience the white seats are very manageable and mine still almost look brand new. They do not pick up stains very easily at all. there are no stains on mine or fabric color transfer, the only visible wear is small creases from getting in and out of the car, which I would imagine is also an issue with darker seats. I do not use a seat cover, but I clean and condition about every month or so using Meguairs gold class leather cleaner and/or lexol. I love the uniqueness of the seats.

Oh yea, and my IS-F is my daily driver.

The Only way to get these White Leather seats in an IS-F, is if the car was Special Order with them and/or Built to Spec. by the dealership manager that orders the cars well in advance.

Its a great no charge extra option for those that like the white leater.

They are rare to find, but they are out there...

Lexus Factory Japan -> standard issue build for the IS-F is the Black Leather.
