Default How rare is this color leather? Or, is it even stock?

Hey guys, I searched the forum and did not find a thread with color combos "doesn't mean it doesn't exist i just didn't see one while looking". I have been looking for a GS300 for about a year and ran across this interior and have fallen in love.....I usually stick with black but this for some reason has really caught my eye. How common is this color? is it specific to just the sport design for 2003? Thanks.....and if I did pass it over sorry...and please don't flame

from the no photo seen in this post and the non-descript nature of the combo color description i would say it is very rare.. maybe even HELLA-RARE..hahaha.. i kid, i kid..

Dude if its a really rare color then i am guessing it would be peanut butter AKA: Saddle interior.

I know it is ultra rare but to me it is ugly but maybe i am missing something. Alot of people would give their brother's left nut to get that combo but i am just not feeling it, but that's one man's opinion. i'll stick to black.. it just looks better in every color car. especially silver on black cars.

yeah, the floor mats are super doo doo.....but the pictures are taken from a trailer park....hey guess nothing wrong with living hood rich Was this only an option for the sport design and or the year 2003? I agree.....I'm a sucked for silver cars with black leather My old mk4 vw with black leather and silver/gray alcantara suede ....or red with black or my old avant......but this catches my eye in a weird uncomfortable no homo way.....

I'd have to see it cause black/saddle with white exterior (or any other color) just seems like too many clashing colors, but again cant judge before seeing When shopping for a 350z, saw saddleback in I think red 350 and ewe... was nasty! Its like they just randomly chose a car off the line regardless of color and through the saddle in there
