thats a great choice. the light gray is striking against the black.

Here is my NG RR on delivery day. Enjoying the new ride and loving the color so far. I used some filters on my phone to increase the shine, but they throw the color off a bit too.

Thanks! Last three cars were white so wanted to get something totally different this time. My non-enthusiast neighbors actually noticed I got a new car this time

Just wanted to say your USB looks amazing!!! Feeling deprived that color is not even an option here. Mods are subtle, tasteful and unique... loving the mirrors!

My last 3 cars were white also. My girlfriend and I bought an IS 350 F Sport together yesterday. She liked the Nebula Grey and I was ok with it. I knew it was going to be a ***** to keep clean but what the hell I thought I've got all the good car wash stuff and then some. Thought it would be nice to have something different too.

Well I do like the grey, it's nice. But, it shows dirt right away. Part of it might be that the dealership didn't really give me a clean car (inside or out) but that's a different story. I also wish we would have gone with a more contrasting interior color. We went with black. Bad call. She didn't like the red interior and I didn't either honestly. Is there another option with Grey other than black or red? I know, too late now.

Another thing I noticed is these wheels show break dust very fast. My dealer had my car driven from another dealership (car had 127 miles on it) and the front wheels were literally covered in a layer of black break dust. Looks like they'd look nice clean though. Guess I'll have to wash it today to find out. Really have a bad feeling about how my dealer didn't care enough to wash the car for me. And he was begging me for perfect scores on the survey...sorry man.

FWIW, my RX is NGP and is much easier to keep clean than I had expected. It's really not bad at all. I did OptiCoat it, and keep it coated in HydrO2 too, so dirt doesn't stick to it. Sometimes I find it easier to keep clean than my Starfire Pearl IS, which really surprises me.

Congrats on your purchase! Enjoy!

When I started looking at the 3IS I saw a Ultra White/ RR combo and was set on it for a while. However my work travel timing was off and dealers kept suggesting other colors with the RR that got me to think again. I saw the AS combo and decided to get that one but after seeing the NG/ RR I fell in love with it and got it. Just like Spagolli94 combo and I love it. No regrets with switching from UW to NG for me.
