Yup, funny how some colors work so well on some cars. Best color I've seen yet.

a bit off topic, is black pearl emblems (including for the fender F) even an option? don't think i've seen any, so i've been wondering for a while just out of curiosity.

I QAgree... So far the Pearl Blue LFA is looking great with the Dark Premium Wheels...

For some reason the Darker Wheels really give it that menacing look!!

What port did it land on?? I updated the list, but put only USA in it so far.
^^ Close on the color..

Pearl paint uses flakes of mica, a synthesized, inorganic product whose addition produces a sheen-like finish.


** Also, ALL USA Bound LFA's will enter via the Port of Long Beach, here in CA.

Autoblog had the chance to experience the uncrating of the blue LFA. Black and a White model were also delivered.

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/18/l...ate/#continued

I want to see the test of the production cars at Fuji proving grounds! 191 miles of testing is a thorough shakedown.

And Autoblog says up to 171 models for U.S. with a couple still available.

Who knows when this happened, but I wonder if that is the white one that Paris Hilton got.

It was a few days ago (I think)....


These are some money shots..!!


#0xx is Whitest White .... #018 is Pearl Blue .... #027 is Black ...

**** Numbers need verification ..
White will most likely be #015

Black & Blue have NO LFA Badge.. So they are indeed "Sleepers"... LoL












Amazing!!

Man that blue is gorgeous. Congratulations to that owner for having a little creativity. That interior is really nice.

Such a breathtaking color choice! I doubt having the badging delete makes it a sleeper though Blue with the yellow calipers do go great together!

Seats are blue too, so it's really two-tone, but I like it.
And this smurfy blue exterior, which I DON'T like on the IS-F(not as dark ?), nissans/Infiniti's looks pretty good on the LFA

I knew you would come around to liking smurfy blue cars! Welcome!

You already know Im biased to this shade of blue and I keep coming back to this damn thread. I didnt think a light interior would work considering their were no preproduction examples, but this two tone is KILLER!

I had the LFA sample ordering kit in my hands today...
