Just a quick pic until I have time to put more and a video or two. Should I start a new thread or just put them somewhere else?

Still waiting for the exposed CF option answer. If available, should I do the hood too? Which red do you think would go better with exposed CF ?
Honestly, in my own opinion looking at the Red with light wheels & yellow calipers..
It really makes it look busy.. (see # 031)

Either Red with look good with exposed CF.. But bright caliper colors become difficult when it comes to Red exterior..

Have you looked at Gold or Silver calipers? with maybe the Darker wheel finish.

Again, just my personal opinion..

Default More #31 pics

Seeing the red/yellow calipers with the silver interior and red stitching in person was stunning. On paper I was not sure how it was going to look, but after seeing it in person I really don't know how one picks colors for this car with so many of them looking fantastic!

With Toyota reporting nine cars sold in the US to date, with #027 it looks like all cars are accounted for so far.

Well almost.... #009 Black is sorta MIA since we don't know what state it ended up in.. However, I'm sure someone here might know.

Also, #015 I believe is the latest White one that arrived the same time as #027 and #017... No word on that unit yet..

If one these were already delivered here in the USA, then the nine units sold Jan & Feb are spot on.

I wonder if that LFA stuck in Canada customs could be one of these.?

Not sure if the Canada units enter through the Port of Long Beach.

The white LFA will be in Calgary all next week. I will be taking pictures of the white one. I will post them up here. As a matter of fact, I have a few pictures from another board taken at the Toronto show. Will it be helpful in identifying if I posted the pictures (exterior only) of the white LFA in Canada??

No because we confirmed that one to be a prototype weeks ago....

+1. Red is a tricky color. I think yellow calipers is a terrible combo; gives it the ketchup and mustard look. If going with red, I'd definitely opt for darker wheels and black calipers.
