Default INTERESTING: Ivory/Ebony Interior 02 GS430

Forgive me if we are not supposed to place autotrader links, but I was surfing and found this '02 GS430 with mix and match Ivory/Ebony interior. Interesting but looks a little sketchy. There's no mention of the combo in the ad. Seats are Ivory and carpet is Ebony along with other touches. Reminds me of the BMW 3 series int. color combos. Door panels are still Ivory and don't really flow with the rest of the car. The '98 - '00 gauge cluster is in there instead of the '01-'05. Strange...

Interesting indeed...lol. I dunno though, I think I would still prefer a fully black interior. The full black just looks so much more sporty.

I agree.

White just screams luxurious to me, while black just screams tight in the seat going 140 in the twisties.

Looks like someone bought a stripped gs and took whatever part's they could muster up. Even if carfax came out o.k., It most likely was never reported. There was no gs available with this combo. Deff..... SHADY.

Naw on occassion I have seen 2 tone interior on GS. Especially here in the Mid Atlantic. We almost purchased a Black with Black dashboard but tan seats and carpets. But it is rare for that combination.

What strikes me as odd is that the dash, carpet, and center console are black
and the seats and door panels are tan.

I think someone wanted the black seats & door panels and swapped them.

The black dash/tan door panels look strange together.
