i believe you could have black on white, but it was rare for sure

I believe 1sicklex has white with black interior. They do have this combo but its very rare, just like spectra blue with black interior.

They do come in 1998 that color combo, white/black. They also have the spectra blue/black but both of them is very hard to find because they only produced a small amount of that combo.

Default black leather

Black leather interior is a factory upgrade.It usually cost about 2500.00 extra and takes about 2 weeks to receive,because it's a special order.So unless the person who bought a white gs and special ordered black leather is the only way you"ll get one like that.

Yup, I think I may have the only pearl white/black leather GS here. Only produced in 98 and 99 and in limited, very limited #ers. The Lexus trademark combo IMO is pearl white (or pearl white over silver when they were 2 tone) with beige leather. My ES 300 is pearl white with Black leather and I could not find the same GS combo. 3 years ago, there was one at a dealer in Washington and one in North Carolina.

To my surprise when I went to the Lexus dealer over 3 years ago to meet my folks who needed help buying floor mats and on the lot was the color combo I was looking for!

Maybe call Lexus Customer Satisfaction for exact figures.
