Black!

1. Makes my 250 looks like it has 500hp out of the dealership.

2. Looks fast while it is parked.

3. Imo the most elegant color on a lexus when its clean =)

4. Matches all my clothes color.

5. Reminds me of my evo I once had. Just the little things =)

Matador Red because when I was looking at used cars ...

1) the one I bought was painted MRM at the factory;

2) the closest other choice was an IS250 in black that had been in an accident.

Would have taken almost any colour, except silver.

Mine is SGM, I had dark gray on my last car it would stay looking clean so much longer than any color i've ever had before. Plus the price was a steal on this one with low mileage. :-)

SFP because it's easy to maintain and the only available color that time

DSM because it is one of the sickest "stock" colors for almost any car I've seen out there.
Moment I laid eyes on it, I knew that was the color I wanted.
Always getting compliments on the color

Black Sapphire Pearl.. I loved how it looked black from a distance but when i got up on it, it actually was blue. When the Sun shines on it, it actually has a metalliac flake that i didn't even notice till the day i had it detailed... My next IS will be Matador red! Lol

Wasn't my first choice but glad I went with Starfire Pearl and black. I just love not having the crappy Obsidian color anymore, it swirls and dirties way to easily. I still like black more, but white is more durable and easier to maintain!

Obsidian Black,

Simply put, black is the most bad *** color.
Classy, elegant and simple.

Obsidian because it looks the best when it's clean and waxed, IMO.

I really wanted SFP, but I got my Obsidian for a really good deal from a family friend, so I couldn't pass it up. Just hate how dirty it gets and how you can see EVERY single imperfection in the paint.

I really only chose obsidian black because it just happened to be the best deal on a 350 with all the options i wanted lol. but i have to agreee its almost impossible to look nicer than a freshly clean black car


even though its a PITA to keep clean lol
