Default GFM w/ Cashmere = Girly

Is glacier frost mica a girly color if paired with Cashmere? What about black? Do you think it's a girly paint in general?

Hmm, I (being a girl) think it is more of a "girlie" color than the others that are offered for that car. I know when I ordered mine, I saw that 6 of my females co workers all had the IS in GFM, which probably made me see it as even more of a girlie color.

But, with that said-- I've seen plenty of males driving Lexus vehicles in that color and when modded (even slightly), it doesn't look "girlie" haha at least not to me

I have seen many IS and GS GFM women driver. I actually want that color but couldn't find easily. It's not girly as long as you're not driving Pink VW Beetle.

In my opinion, its not. I was actually looking for a GFM w/ black interior and Nav when I was in the market for an IS. It was difficult to find, so I settled with SGM.

i have black leather in my glacier frost and it still seems a little girly to me in the sun. i love the color, but i do understand the point of how people can call it a girly color, even more so with cashmere interior (not hating rashoodz). however when you mod it, damn gfm looks sexy.

From the casual opinions I've gotten, people think its a nice color in general, usually surprised it wasn't the silver car they thought it was from a glance or something. I've never heard girly or masculine come up, so I assume most people are either indifferent or polite; probably the former.

Certainly not! I have the cashmere interior and it's still clean as new. Yes, the ladies love it,so that's a bonus! Modding it with wheels, exhaust, suspension, or tint will make it more masculine.

IMO, every color available on the ISX50 are not girly looking at all. In fact, the lighter the interior the better you will look to the ladies!

Want to see a girly car, here you go...

It's clean. GFM is a very interesting color due to its reflective qualities.

I wouldn't call it girly.

It's just not aggressive or sinister...

GFM is a great color. I considered it when shopping for CPO 07/08 IS350's.

But we've had a couple posters mention that they had some difficulty getting the color matched when having bodywork done.

yes, its extremely girly...its even more girly when you think about the color options of your car instead of the actual car itself.
