Noticed the seats don't look perforated either, or maybe it's just the picture I can see. I can only see the last picture which shows the rear seating and arm rest.

From these two pictures, they do look perforated. I think they would have to be in order to get the a/c air out of the seats. Looks a little worn, but used so can't be too bad.

I can see all the photos now. Yes, I saw this too. It seems to be the same color as the shiftgate plastic, rather than wood. Very interesting how Lexus has variances in interior for European as well as even Canadian versions.

That steering wheels looks pretty worn too.

If you are looking for tires for 20' wheels, yeah, Falken is your best bet, it's inexpensive and all rounded tire.
I got them on my 20's as well.
