I also thought he was getting the ring edition. But this does have the exposed roof. Looks great

Roy told me it is up for sale. He would like to keep both, but I have a feeling the boss (his wife) says he can only keep one.

Roy Mallady wrote on lexusenthusiast.com. I requested him to join this forum. Let's see how it goes:

Toyota wouldn't give me #500---I think they will keep it there probably in a museum !!!! I'm glad they let me have #499---003 has been the best car I've ever owned. I've had about 20 great sports cars over 33 yrs.which included 6 Porsches and 5 Ferraris.The last LFA is darker silver and more red inside. The wheels are also darker silver and the top is exposed carbon fiber. I wish I could keep both because what a pair they would make--first US Car and last one sold in the world. I'll probably sell 003 for the silly reason of the need for food and shelter moving forward. This LFA will be the 15th Lexus I owned over 20 yrs.---never had one problem with them and the people have been great.
Roy 003/499
