Default Matte Black in Tokyo

Spotted this parked in front of the hotel I'm staying at in Tokyo this evening.
Came in my pants when I saw the car , so had to go back to my room and change my undies . Sorry for the crappy bberry pics. That's all I had on hand. Hope you like.

That's Akio's personal LFA. Has the signature gold "F" badges.

Here's the article that reveals it...

Sorry for the repost. This is the first time I even opened the LFA forum. (I only follow models I can afford ) That explains Akio san's car at the hotel. There was a Lexus Event going on last night. Should have said "Hello", I worked for him a bit when I was at TMC.

Looks really good in these 'real world' pictures. Sometimes the matt black comes across faded looking. This looks really deep black.
