Default IS Sport package.... brushed aluminum center console?

I was reading on another forum that the sport package comes with a center console in brushed aluminum or it's the metallic painted plastic like all the non wood models have?

Please let me know...

regards,

Joel Pirela

It comes with the metallic painted plastic product that all the non-luxury packaged cars have. It is not real aluminum.

Thanks!

That's what I thought.

it will be killer for a company to make aftermarket kits for that center console in real brushed aluminum!

That will look real nice with black interiors!

regards,

Joel

Yeah, everyone tricked me! I thought the center console was aluminum, not the same one that I have.

Ah well good for me, at least one item that I dont have to upgrade

I agree, I usually prefer brushed aluminum over wood, but in this case, the wood looks far better.

Says you. They could put tinfoil in there and I'd still prefer it over wood... (did I mention I hate wood in cars? Weird, because I love it most other places).

It is a great look, especially with the black interior. I prefer it over the wood.

LOL!

I agree though to an extent though—the wood in lexus is wierd—but I do like the dark grey wood in the GS.

The artificial annodized aluminum is better than wood in the IS... but it is artificial, and looks it.
