Nice, everything appears to be the matte color including the window trims. What is original color and is it matted out insideout (enginebay, trunk, door jams, etc.)?

the only thing that is not painted is the door jams and engine bay. Positive side is washing it and keeping it clean is going to be a breeze

Congrats and welcome to CL. The matte finish definitely is daring and with the right mods can turn out dope. However it gives it more of a tuner look than classy don't you think...

Like you said, if done right i believe it can look classy. Either way i like something thats a little different all though i'm not the first matte color lexus, i'll still put my own spin on it.

I'll be very interested to see how you like the quite substantial change in speed, power, and performance..

I'm surprised someone who had an STi cross-shopped the 250 instead of the 350, since the 350 has all the same luxury but gets you closer to the STi's performance.

Both cars are great looking. I've always loved the STi; it was one of the cars I was considering but I ultimately wanted more luxury than it could afford so I went with the 350.
