Default Opinion on best color for F Sport

Hi all. Being that above the tires are dark plastic. I was leaning towards the nebula gray f sport.
I do like the look of the white as well. Anyone seen both these colors in person?

Yes I have seen both side-by-side actually at the dealer last week (see below pics).

Personally, I'm less fond of the black trim such as the grille, mirrors, fender arches, and floating roof D-pillar glass contrasting against white.

In contrast, the same black features compliments Nebula Gray better IMO including the F Sport wheels.

I see a white F Sport as giving off a more boy-racer, look-at-me sportier presence while the Nebula has a more toned down sporty look with a larger splash of luxury.

My vote is for NG but the white definitely "pops" more. What "presence" do you prefer?

Thanks for the reply. I do like the Nebula.
The pic you have there has the triple beam lights.
Here in NY, they won't have that and will have to special order I was told 3-4 months.
Are the lights a deal breaker?

To be honest, after having them on the NX for almost one year ownership now, the novelty has waned somewhat. As such, if I were buying an RX, the lack of the Triple L LEDs would not be a deal-breaker provided the car has everything else I want at a fair price. Remember, a dealer will want to sell their inventory more "easily" than having to order one. If not to your satisfaction, then order it as you want it including the triple LEDs (if so desired).

Good luck!

I agree that Nebula Grey is the best color for the F-sport! My second choice would be Nightfall Mica. I think the black plastic won't be the noticeable after a bit of ownership. Getting those pieces professionally painted shouldn't cost too much either.

Ultra sonic blue is the best color for an Fsport.... Too bad it's not offered.

I think USB would not fit the character of this car...seems like a color for something fast and sporty, which the RX isn't.

Its a deal breaker for me, hence why ill be ordering mine sometime early next year. Perhaps if I were leasing the vehicle, I wouldn't mind but at the price point ($60k) - its just too much money to not be completely satisfied and have regrets later down the road.

Nebula Grey is sex on wheels. I really want to get a 3M Matte film to keep the paint protected but also make it look even sexier. With the F sport rims, MMMMM. baby girl you know my situation.

White for me - always found Nebula to be a dull colour which doesnt stand out personally. Black looks a bit too much Black

Im just disappointed that the Eminent White isn't offered - best colour on the Lexus palette atm

White is always known to show the contrast, contures, and edges of a car really well. Esp. with a nice tint, wax, and dark rims, like @rayaans, white on the new RX would be sexy.

However, having 2 white cars my whole life, I'd have to go with something different such as the Nebula. Looks great in person and I just like having something else other than white. Doesn't mean I won't wax and wash that baby every week, but still. Just remember, it will be your car for however long and it isn't cheap. Get something that will make you happy and will make you look at the car and say "Dayuum my car is sexy "

I ordered the Ultra White with a black interior. The F Sport looks best in White IMHO.

Caviar is my favorite color followed by white.
