Default **Official** Truffle Mica ISx50 thread.

Since there hasn't been a thread made for this color yet, I decided to make one.
2010 was the first year Lexus actually made this color available for the IS, some people may still question what the exact color of Truffle mica is. Personally when I look at my car, it appears SGM from a far, but when up close and personal the little sparkle of brownish/purple metallic flakes is what makes this color so unique . I know not too many members have this color but would like to see this thread grow overtime and perhaps encourage those who are looking to purchase an IS in the near future to consider this awesome color Feel free to post pics of other Truffle IS's even if its not your car.



(These were taken from my iphone & probably the best ones that has yet to capture its true color)

The Aerotect overlay looks much better than your RVinyl did haha. Nice choice of wheel by the way, complements Truffle Mica very well imo

As a GFM owner who finds my car color is more superior than the rest of the colors, I WANT THIS more!

There's a member who have this color, I don't think he's active anymore.

You mean the CF pillars? They're still wrapped....just that the iphone can't take high quality pics to show them. I'm having professional pics taken next week so will post some up then =)
