Default Another Cool Color...

Although I obviously like Red best, and probably wouldn't buy this color, but the eggplant color is really cool. I saw one the other day, and it looked black, then purple, then blue depending on how the sun hit it but not like those cheesy mustang cobra colors. Really cool color and shows Lexus' innovative and creative juices in aesthetics. Looks awesome with ecru too.

Though I'm not an all chrome type of guy, it still looks nice. However, IMO it needs to be lowered. I recommend the Tein CS coilovers for it's factory smooth ride. Don't worry about warranty issues as you're just replacing the shocks/springs. The only two intakes I know of are the Blitz ($400+ I think) & InJen ($200). The lowest price for a cat-back exhaust is the Blitz ($1000). I don't think intake & exhaust will net you any real power gains other than a nicer growl. The best bang for the buck would be SS headers ($600-$700). You can do a search for it & see dyno charts by Pearlpower (Lee). What part of Tx are you at?

That Red/Ecru is the best color combo to me. It looks almost exotic, esp with wheels and a drop.

Can we please find more pics?????

I had a 93 RX7TT that was that color, changed depending on how the light would hit it. Of course Mazda did not have quality paint and it chipped very easy. Fun car
