Go for the red! When I bought my 3IS in Nebula Gray Pearl, I got it with black leather because Rioja red was no where to be found! In my case, it's more common in the IS350 than the IS250. I have to say that I've seen pictures of the Nebula /Rioja combination and it looks fabulous!
One last point re: Flaxen. I went to the Lexus dealership many times before setting on my GS F Sport. They had a Nebula Gray Luxury with Flaxen interior, and with Nebula Gray's purplish cast in the sun and Flaxen's yellowish cast it just looked like purple and yellow to me. It was a beautiful car, but I just couldn't get past that thought.
Hi, I'm about to pick up a new RC 350 F Sport in Nebula Gray Pearl, but not sure about which interior color to go with. I was originally going to go with the black leather but was afraid that the white stitching will get dirty over time, so I'm currently leaning towards the red leather since it has the matching red stitching. The only gripe about the red is that it may be too trendy after the honeymoon period. Both looked nice on the dealer lot for sure.
Any thoughts on the black or red interior?
Would you care to share your reason for picking one over the other? (not interested in beige or gray)
Thanks in advance.
So looking forward to picking mine up this week.
The stitching on the black interior is more of a light gray color. Unless you spill something on it, I wouldn't worry about it looking dirty. I chose black interior because I had black in my previous lexus, and it held up very well. The red interior is gorgeous, but black is easier to wipe clean.
I went for black.
As You've mentioned, red has a nice contrast and the shade of red they used is perfect. However, I feel that I would grow out of it faster.
IMO, with any mods you may do in your car and additions, black will be easier to match.
Yeah I went through the same dilemma and ended up going with the black as well. After seeing the red interior in the direct sunlight, it was too pink for me.
Roja Red interior is basically the best choice for every color of the RC except Red imo. For the red paint, I would go with the butter cream color interior.
I've seen the red with both the light beige and the darker beige, and very much prefer the darker shade, which Lexus calls "flaxen." (This is a color combination used extensively by Ferrari.) When I ordered my car in infrared, I was willing to go with either of those beige interiors, and fortunately the flaxen showed up, which I have. Whether it rises to the level of "looking ****," I'm not sure, but it is very attractive, which is a characteristic shared by many ****.
I love the flaxen interior in my 2014 IS350, aka Saddle Tan. The Nebula Gray on Flaxen is quite rare in Canada, which I suppose makes the car feel more special. Here are two pics, and in the second one, I added some CF wrap.
