Default LFA #054 - Pearl Red w/Red

Here's another! This one has not been delivered to the owner yet as he is still out of the country. I wasn't able to get any detailed shots as I was working and only had my iPhone4 to take pics with. Plus the car was roped off in the corner and was of course locked up. Please excuse the quality of the phone camera pics.

Dealer delivery: Lexus of Riverside, Riverside, CA

Popular color it seems. Not for me.

I don't like any of the other wheel choices other than the graphite. The black calipers imho are too safe. I think the Pearl Red > Red just because of the depth of the color. The plain red color doesn't really do much for the body lines unlike the Pearl Red.

I agree with the dark wheels. Just think lighter colored calipers show the size of the brakes better. I like both reds though. I haven't seen it in person so the way it looks in sunlight is a mystery.

I am the opposite. I like lighter metallic finish since they make the wheels feel more "present" and "prominent" and "imposing stance".

i am never a fan of darker wheels, it doesn't show the lines well, either on lfa or even the isf

They will never sell it so I will take it off their hands for free, and i don't like red cars, i know my generosity shows know bounds.
