Here are a few pictures with no flash, as the sun was going down.... as you can see the red behind the perforated seats doesn't show as much.

Khal... congratulations man! You really won't be disappointed... the car interior is very well put together... the black and red blend beautifully. I used to have a Porsche a few years back, the thrill of the ride overall is really comparable considering this is a sedan...

Thanks guys...

Black/red wheels... not right now since I just got myself the G-Spiders. For sure I'll get aftermarket wheels next time I have to change the tires. Right now I'm looking to lower the car, but kind of tricky with the AWD.

Stormforge... Thanks for the tips for the rust proofing. You are totally right, and I completly overlooked it at the dealer. I should really get it before the winter. Should I go aftermarket or with the dealer?

Khal... Here in Canada the car comes like this, you can't change anything. But I'm not sure if they you can mix the PB with the wood grain option, not sure.

gotta say that your GS looks really sharp!

dealer will probably charge you an arm and a leg to get this done. definitely go aftermarket to do the rust proofing. i would pick the most reputable vendor to do this (especially if you plan on keeping your GS for a long time). good luck!

and i second that...we can't make changes to the interior. that's the one thing i don't like about our choices here in canada.

Stormforge... thanks! I'll see what companie I can get to do the rustproofing. You have to think long term, and it is worth it.

Looks nice! I though the whole carpet was going to be red...but it looks like only the areas that don't get that dirty are. Too bad it will all be covered by all season mats soon
I thought all Lexus cars and trucks have good rust proofing from the start...hence the long rust warranty?
I personally don't plan to for the laughable amount of snow we get here in Vancouver...I just wash the bottom down after driving. However, I could see it being an issues in most of Canada.
