Just got this and felt like taking some pics alongside its real counterpart...

I'm considering taking the model apart and paint the seats white to match mine.

Nice! You picked up one of those little model F's also, looking good I had a friend pick one up in white for me as a gift

haha yeah they're made by HPI and they came out to a bit under 200 with shipping. I'm very impressed by it actually. The paint is superb and as you can tell from the pics, it matched the real paint color perfectly. The window chrome is very nicely done and there was good use of photo etching on the console and the L badges, even the one on the steering wheel. Surprisingly, the entire interior and especially the seats are very accurate as well, as are the brakes, right down to the micro Lexus decals on the calipers.

The main fault I can say about it is the size of the wheels, they look 17" instead of 19", but I knew this before I bought it. Wheel details as far as spokes and bolts are very good though, and even uses the two-tone wheels like my car. Also no sunroof, but I wouldn't really shouldn't mind this too much because it's hard to make sunroofs look good on a 1/43 scale model. Also, it's RHD only... oh well.

Whats funny is that I could have gotten one free if I waited. My friend in HK saw it at a store and was going to get me one as a gift but I told him not to cus I just bought one... grrr...

Umm... No they don't... The SGM IS-F model in the pictures I posted is just a figment of my imagination.

HAHA just messin' with ya... Yeah they do, they just call it by the JDM name. In this case: "Dark Grey Mica". Actually they use the JDM name for all the colors. USB for example is "Exceed Blue Metallic"
