This is the black with antique walnut. Only available in the Ultra and custom. Pictures do not do it justice as black is hard to photograph.. Leather looks darker and richer in real life.

I am partial to the Ecru...sleek luxury, with a side of fancy perforated leather.

That said, the black is very nice too...notice how in the black leather, the antique walnut wood trim darkens towards the edges...to blend in.

thanks ikey78..

do you have the pictures of Non-Ultra Luxury interiors for both black and tan?

I have seen these 2 Ultra interior colors in person and they're great but I am getting non-Ultra car.

The wood trim in for tan interior (in non-Ultra), I think it's different than that for the black interior (non-Ultra).

The edges on the non-Ultra black interior, unfortunately doesn't darken

The 2nd pic you said is Ecru UL... it is indeed a very strange pic, UL has too interior, blk with cherry color wood and ecru with blk wood!
The 2nd pic is a LS with UL option but regualr brown wood!! Never seem it before. Is it really a UL model??

Aerodragon:
I do not have any pics of the non ultra or custom interiors. A good place to see lots of pictures online is ebay motors. Just do a search for Lexus LS and sort by year. They have several black on blacks posted now. The 2004's have the same colors as the 2005's. In my opinion the custom is worth considering as it also includes the Laser Cruise which I find very useful. Also, in addition to the better quality leather and better wood color (with the black Interior) there is a lot more leather on surfaces other than the seats such as the armrests and the glovebox. In the standard cars those are covered with vinyl.

BlackSC400:
The Ultra has come with the walnut wood and Ecru combo since the 2004 model. Before that the Ecru was combined with Ecru wood which is a greyish color.

thanks; I'll check it out on ebay.
I really like the tan interior but am not a big fan of the wood trim (bird's eye); I like the walnut better but am not convinced yet that black interior is better than tan.
