Joe,

Are you considering moving up to an ISF? That interior and color combo is stunning

+1 It looks garish. Red stitching, OK, but this looks like some Ferrari wanna be.

This isn't the first time Lexus has pulled the trigger on "Red Leather"....

Some special edition SC430's pulled the red of really well...

Blak & Gray work well in this combo...

Red interior is secks....There is a identical one in my local dealer's showroom and it really caught my attention. Also, I really love the new wheels.

The red interior in the isf is nice, gives it a more sporty look

Give Lexus props for trying to do 2-tone....notice I said "TRY"

They really need to learn from BMW and some exotic car mfr on how to do proper 2-tone. That red is all over place and not done tastefully at all (again IMO of course)

looks great, but i would be the first to change the door panel inserts to red [above the armrests] to 'tie in' the rest of the interior, as someone before said, the seats alone look out of place.

And you don't want to go overboard like the all-red interior'd SC430's [gross]

Ouch.. someone scuffed the passenger door seal plastic up getting in or out.

Would like to find out how to get the scuff out of my 350 plastic.... got to find my way to the Detail forum

Sorry for late reply Raj...I just got back from my family trip. Happy New Year my friend, and to all!

I was thinking about it...but I'm going to stick with my GTR for now.
