If Lexus make every possible combination of interior color with all 3 wood color and the 9 or 10 exterior color they have. That would add up to almost a 100 different combination. Just think how hard it would be to get the exact color you want with the right options on top of that, its a car search nightmare.

although any of the "gray" exterior colors would look ridiculous with the cashmere interior...so you could eliminate a few combos there

I have red maple with Black/Black. I wanted Birdseye at first, but the redwood has grown on me. I really like it. it's not worth the hassle in my opinion.

lol, true. just like how i can't see myself get any gold color cars, but hey they are out there

to be fair, bmw and mb they do have a lot more varieties and choices on trims, etc... that's a good thing. but i am still a strong believe that will drive up the cost of cars. lexus can do it, but i don't know what people would say if the price goes up by another 1000 bucks

I also have maple on my silver/blk GSh and hate it! Unfortunately it was the only option available when I bought it. I had the gray walnut in my 02 GS3 and would have loved it in the new one.

I know the IS has aftermarket overlays, but haven't seen the GS ones yet. Wonder why?

Thanks!
don't bother to order from dealer, you can buy the pieces at the center console alone, no problem. i'm guessing it's about 350 a pieces
but for the dash on the doors, they will force u to buy the whole door panel.
cost u probably 8k for all 4 doors..
and.. think twice b4 u switch to that color..

i have that color on my car now..
and EVERYONE!! everyone who sits in my car will try to WHIPE CLEAN the dashes for me, cause they felt it look dusty.. -_-;;
i feel... sad.......................
