Default Red Interior!

Was surfing minkara... and saw this.





I'd like it a bit darker red though.

if you can read minkara, please translate the LED conversion for the head unit and air conditioning vents.

glad to see something fresh, although, i'm more interested in the storage compartment!

That is an interior color only available in Japan.

The red interior has only happened to special Pebble Beach Editions of the SC430. Perhaps a special edition IS will get it in the future...

That's too bright. The craftsmanship looks a little shabby too. I agree, it would probably look a lot better if it were a few shades darker.

I think the color is alittle too bright, should be burgundy then things might appeal more, especially in a black car.

The Terra color leather from the BMW 3-series would look great in the IS. This red is too bright and orangy. Close, but no cigar.
