Silver not for me either, seems like you see silver every where, it has been too over done, imho.
NP!

If you are shooting for being different, then your mission will not fail going with that color. Far as seeing LS430's here in ATL depends on what side of town you are on, all i see are blk, white & silver all day. I rarley see Flint Mica and the rest are even more rare, this is a Bimmer-Benz town with Lexus coming in 3rd. (RX300-350 owns Atlanta) When i do see LS430 the drivers are in their golden years, my the looks I get when they see me.

I purchase my mystic gold UL pre-owned and was a bit hasty, but after seeing how many black, silver, & whites out there (nice colors mind you) I am glad I bought it. Nothing flashy, all original equipment, factory chrome, with a slight height adjustment. Still looks like new (a bit of a neat freak). You will appreciate the looks you will get. It is not a common color and when well maintained the color just pops. Rain or shine the car will always look good (unlike the other primary colors). What color is the interior? I have ecru with bird's eye maple. Sounds like a strange color combo, but when you see it in person its really nice. Of course I'm bias since I own one, but at the end of the day, you are the one who has to see it & drive it every day. If you choose it, I don't think you will be disappointed. But choose it because you like it, not because you think you will eventually will like it!!!

LEX012006-

Does yours have gold badging as well? I have noticed in the pictures of later models that the badging on the stern have all been gold. I assume that they come that way from the factory and are not a dealer add on?? Thanks...

gold is nice if your old, otherwise consider Flint, if you dont want typical blk, white, and silver.

QUOTE LEX012006: Focsle-Only thing after market is tires & tint.

OK, I was wondering about that since the ones I'm seeing on this car are gold. So gold badging on the mystic gold metallic.

Gold badging to my understanding is a dealer install item.

there are some aftermarket companies that does gold package, but yes you can get gold emblems at the dealer as well. Let me warn you, they do rub off in time...
