Default Are these images of a genuine ls430 interior?

Hi,

How is it going?

So I was browsing for a used ls430 and came upon this type of interior which I think lexus did not introduce it back then in 2004.






What do you think?

Thanks ,

Eisa

Seems much lighter than the Cashmere that was offered. Could be a custom job???? I do like it alot, however...

Looks like someone had it re-painted. The dash looks kind of odd with that color over black.

The plastic covering the headrests and seats is telling ... not OEM, at least U.S.

Just by looking at the combo, that I've never seen before.

It's a custom job %100. And you can also tell by how clean the leather looks. No 10 year old car looks clean like that without a custom cloth fitting shop.

Very known and popular in the gulf area, which just by looking at the background I can smell the middleast sun.

Kind of like it, only if the black was the normal grey/silver color. Or just a tad lighter.

That kind of contrast is very in/very modern. My 2015 for instance has grey seats and door inserts but everything else is black, carpet, dash, bulk of the doors, steering wheel, etc.

That's not an OEM interior color combination. It looks amazing though. If I had the money I would do my interior like that.

A member on here by the name of GATO did his interior like that on his LS430. He had diamond stitching and a ton of other really cool stuff in his interior as well.

Well, if not for the black seat backs and little black panels on the dash, it looks the same as (or similar to) the 04UL interior shown in the 2004 LS430 brochure.

Ecru (not Cashmere) with black dashboard top ,,,,,

Imagine how dirt and grime would show on such a light color. I wonder if they clear coat the leather too after it is painted?

The seller mentions it is a custom setup, at the top of hygiene. In other words, it's not stinky.

$16,063 for an 04 UL with 160,000 miles is pricey. But maybe that is the market in United Arab Emirates.

160,000 km, so only 100,000 miles.

Lexus has sold the LS with interior leather lighter than that/as light as that. At least the carpets are black.

If a giant sack of cash fell from the sky on to my doorstep, I would buy this thing. I don't have the patience to strip my LS down to dye everything.
