Default Mystic Sea Opalescent GS owners.

I haven't seen much of this color on any Lexus forums nor have I really seen them on the streets. Any other owners on the forum?

Is this an OEM color? The bumpers don't match at all.

Gorgeous none the less.

Yes, we are the forgotten ones. I am glad you started this thread as there are many posts of the REGULAR/NORMAL colors...J/K. I can't wait to see how many of us are here.

just bought the car and the muffer tip is on my list :P
i plan on just buying new tips, polishing the oem muffler and leaving it that way
sadly the previous owner had the front bumper, rear bumper, hood, and driver fender repainted and I guess the paint match didn't go well.

Truthfully, I like the color of the repainted parts better than the original color of the car.

It is OEM color. A unique paint depending on how much light is reflecting on the car the color can sometime appear to be dark. A lot of people told me my car is playing tricks on their eyes

Mystic Sea Opalescent originated from 2000 GS to current if I am not mistaken.

They certainly appear to not match; well at least in the second pic.

I thought about your own when I saw this thread. I think the color is more rare than the Burgandy/Cinnabar color.
