Ok guys, to answer your questions. I had the car in my hand for only a second before it was taken to the custom upholstery shop to get upholstered in this phat leather called ucre (sp?). I basically want the interior of my car to look like the new SC430 that I saw. God knows how much it's going to cost, but oh well, there's not a price tag on beauty.

But to answer it, yes, I have the V300, as I understand it, that's the Supra TT engine inside a GS300 body. It also happens to be the Vertex edition and from my very limited understanding, the Vertex Edition has somewhat different trims, badgings, etc. I have chrome rings around my tail-lights, the chrome 17-inch rims with chrome Toyota badges and chrome Aristo badge on top of the right rear taillight. And of course the V300 badge on top of the left light.

Seeing the pictures here, I basically noticed that that's all there is that separates my car from the rest here, well that and the 2 turbo thingies under the hood hehehe. Hmm..what else, 5-speed auto, Mark Levinson audio...oh, yes, the speedo gauges.

I just noticed from the previous pictures that my gauges are the same as mentioned above. I must have mentioned it all sort of wrong because it causes an alarm in this thread hehe. But, no, they are the same as you guys'. I will take the pics soon.

Ecru is a color not a type of leather.

Oh yah, Aristo V300s only, ONLY comes in 4-speed auto. And no Mark Kevinson is not an option in Japan. And V300s only come with POLISHED 17inch rims not CHROME.

Can you please clarify.

Do you have red/brown burlwood wood or red walnut wood?

I believe the reason its blue on the lexus site is because the GS 430 with all options, which means the mark levinson and navigation system, is the only model that comes with that color. A standard GS 430 or 300 will probably not come with that interior gauge color. Just my opinion.

I've seen someone's GS430 with ML and NAV and it's the exact same color as mine. So it's not really the car model. Maybe there IS one THAT blue. I've seen mine THAT blue once before.
