So we have confirmed that the production number is still +2 of the VIN, so I think that with 99% certainty this Brownstone LFA is production number #225.

I saw this car in person like 1.5 weeks ago, and I took a few pics. I was planning on starting a thread on this car, but searching, I found this.

The color combo of this car is amazing. Unfortunately, the doors were locked (obviously) with rope and pillars around it, so my pics were limited. Also, I was in a rush, and I knew I was going to be back in a few weeks (sometime possibly this week) so I wasn't hard pressed. I'm pretty sure the car wasn't going anywhere

You can bet I was surprised to see this car, as it was the first car when one walks into the showroom! I was picking up my RX from service and my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe that they had an LFA at my dealership. BTW, Classic Lexus' service is amazing. Which is why I drive a good 40 mins one way from my place. Anyways, here a few pics from my iPhone 4S. I wanted to take more pics at the time, of the # and interior, but like I said, I'll take more when I go back. Pictures don't do justice!

Other pics are not loading because of the high resolution, I'll try to post them up later.

You rock CPMD!

They must have picked the color to go with the showroom flooring

I guess I like the color so much as it reminds me of the Rosewood Brown Metallic on my long gone 1992 Honda Accord

One of the best colors for this car. I had a great feeling it would look good. Colors like it look amazing on cars like teh Supra and GT-R.

Brownstone is a misnomer for the color. It's not brown at all, but more like a dark gray from away, and then depending on the lighting, it changes. My first impression from afar was I thought it was a dark gray with dark saddle interior.

When I saw it, everything matched perfectly, even the calipers.

^^ Agreed on the color shade...

Here's a side by side of "Brown Stone" & "Pearl Brown"..

Brown Stone is almost like a Pearl Gray with some brown stone mixed into it..

Brown Stone (9J1) looks very similar to the Toyota color Anthracite Metallic (1A1).

This is the best I have...

The "Steel Gray" is a few shades darker than the "Metallic Silver"

I also found this one too:

Click for supersize

Very nice paint I wonder how close it is to Truffle mica(which is one of my favorite Lexus paint also) ?

I wish there are more pictures/video of this paint on the LFA
