Although the front looks kind of goofy I think the car will look killer
in black.

Yeah, I agree the front will look better in black or the dark colors like Smoky Granite Mica.

I'll take it as is. On second thought, put on proper rearview mirrors and i'll have it in the yellow that the IS300 came in with an all black interior.

Anybody observe the test mules? Ithink they give a hint at the colours..check the exposed rearview mirrors you will see; a bright red, light blue, dark blue and yellow.

You'll likely also need some proper door handles and a hole which you can fill it up with.

I want mine in non-metallic bright white with red seats and a black carpet.

For the wheels, I want a machine finish lip with body color spokes.

Can someone please start photoshopping some other colors onto the car?

I think that brushed aluminum like color is hot.
Black interior.
I love the exterior right now. I love how the C-pillar cuts back towards the front over the rear quarter window.

Old school shaved handles for the win!!!!

**Hint** take a closer look at the door panel infront of the air scoop area

As for the gas tank lid yeah that too....

or just make it run off Adrenaline, absorbed though osmosis

So I took the liberty of chopping some colors. Iono what other colors you guys might want to see, so just let me know. Also, I used this view since it's my favorite view and in my opinion probably closer to production than the front view.

Black


IS-F blue


British racing green (yeah I don't know why but I think it looks GOOD)


Matador red


Smokey Granite Mica


Crystal White (my personal favorite)


aaand... yellow. Because all exotic cars need to be seen in yellow at least once!

I'm actually a huge fan of Jaguar's British Racing Green.

It's too bad that most other car companies lack the cojones to pull it off for most of their cars...

Porsches have it too. Of all the color chops above, I actually like this green one the most--it makes the car look all that much more exotic! Thanks knihc2008!

wow, that car can pull all those colors off right. i don't normally like yellow but that yellow looks good. in red, just get ready for everyone to ask if that is a ferrari, even though the big *** L is on the front and back.

Thanks for doing the terrific color adaptations knihc2008.

White is going to be great.

My 350 is crystal white, which is a nice color but I would like the brightest non metallic paint I can find on this thing.

I look at the LFA as Lexus starting from the S2000 and saying lets bring that feeling/experience to a supercar and make it more comfy for older rich guys.

Thanks for the compliments guys; I've got a PSD file saved so any other colors you guys would like to see I can do in a flash, just let me know!

Personally I love the Crystal White but that British Racing Green is something else, isn't it? Knowing Lexus' ability to pull off some really amazing pearl colors, I think they could do something really special with a British Racing Green, especially after seeing Jaguar's absolutely beautiful green color.
