Default The Perfect color combo

I'm beginning to see that a black GS with two tone Black and light gray intr is a very rare. I've seen this intr on a Mercury metallic and I knew right then, that it was intr for me. But I cant find that intr on the obsidian extr. Every black car I see has tan or black intr with golden or maple wood.

Does anyone here actual own this beautiful color combo?
obsidian extr
light gray leather w dark gray maple intr

I've never seen one with that color combo. Maybe the dark blue you will be able to get the grey interior. I've seen the dark blue exterior grey interior on 2nd gen IS's.

Not a fan of the wooden accents. Even though this combo incorporates the wood in the same locations, it being gray (ash) makes all the difference. it looks more like marble. i think I'll go silver if I cant locate a black one like this.

PS - Keeping the carpet clean is gonna be a PITA though. Note the brown area around the dead pedal on this 2009.

I have this interior with a Smoky Granite Mica exterior. I'm not sure if this interior was available on the Obsidian exterior. Keeping the carpet clean is really hard and I have some Goodyear floormats that look like these: http://yourautoworld.com/images/Acce...-floor-mat.jpg . The interior also stays a lot cooler than the black interior.

I've seen those mats b4. Appears to be a good investment.

I've seen your color combo as well. I'm on week 3 of searching for the right GS and I've yet to find the a fore mentioned color combo. Maybe your right, it wasnt offered w Obsidian. But i cant figure why not. Would look perfect together.
