Cool YOUR Lexus LFA

I'm not sure how many of us can afford one, I sure as hell can't.

But if you could, how would you want it to look like?

Build your LFA, and post your picture on how you want YOUR Lexus LFA to look.

Here's mine:

^I was thinking of getting the same blue as the one you have, but it wouldn't have matched the blue interior, so I went with the darker one. All in all, it looks about the same, except I got more white, and darker wheels.

You know I can't just have one I would buy at least three if I have the $$$ and if they let me

My choice will be white and black amethyst. I would pick yellow too, but the yellow color in the configurator looks terrible, a far cry from the pictures of the real yellow LFA, so I didn't bother .

I know the black amethyst will look WAY better in real life than depicted by the configurator too, since I have a twilight amethyst pearl SC430, I know how gorgeous such a colour will be in person

^Wouldn't you worry about the seats getting dirty too quick since it's white? My interior is currently beige, and the wear and tear really shows.

If I could afford the LFA, that would be the least of my worries.

A few years back I was considering a car that had a site where you could build your car online. I kept going back and rebuilding the same car with the same color as I considered it against other cars. Weeks later the car was in their inventory in the exact colors. It made me wonder if the high volume manufacturers ever use these sites to plan inventories and maintain a database of what customers prefer. To me, if I were a dealer flooring cars, I'd want the data from my geographic area to better plan what to keep on hand. I've often wondered if we got 50 guys together and kept building some weird orange Ford if that would end up at the dealership.

Fact is, I haven't seen any configurator that can accurately depict what the colors will look like in person on the car, except for a couple of very standard colors like flat black and white. Even blue's and grays can have different shades, which often cannot be accurately captured even on photos of the real cars ......

Great thread, but the builder on the site seems to be down... Maybe flooded with too many bored clublexus.com users? :P
