Yeah there should definitely be more red accents. At least red steering grips and door handles.

I assume Starlight Black is very similar to Stargazer Black?

I would assume also.. But that can get you into trouble arround here...

"Stargazer Black" aka "Starlight Black Mica" & "Starlight Black Mettalic" carries a Lexus color code of # 217.
Its name varies in different regions and offered on a few new Lexus Models

The LFA in "Starlight Black" carries a Lexus color code of # 9J2..


Who knows...??!! It might be exactly the same or it might be a special varient of the exisiting color code..

They did the same exact thing for the new GS Color offered in "Lapis Lazuli Mettalic" color code # 8V3... aka "Deep Sea Mica"

Yet, the Lexus LFA in "Lapis Lazuli" carries a color code # 9H8

Yeah I have a feeling the reason for the variation in paint code is one to give it exclusivity to LFA, but at the same time, there are other colors that can be cross referenced directly to other Lexus models. I'm very confident Starlight Black and Stargazer are the same. Here's a Stargazer IS 200d and IS F I took at the 2010 Paris Auto Show.

Closer look. Yes different camera angle and zoom...and of course the interior lighting is different from Paris and Longo's fluorescent lighting.
