Default Two-tone interior from the factory?...

I was browsing cars.com for an sc300 and found this interior pic of a '97: http://images.cars.com/phototab/DMI/182393/P101.12.jpg Here's a shot from the passenger door: http://images.cars.com/phototab/DMI/182393/P101.15.jpg

For some reason, I really like the two-tone interior. Was this an option from the factory? Anyone else seen a two-tone interior?

Just curious...

Thanks!

+1, they made these from factory. I've seen quite a few of these before and even seen one in person in a CL member's car. Looks great imo.

The black looks so much better with the tan interior than the gray/brown that's normally with the tan interior. I've been wanting to do something like this.

Is the top part of the dash seperate or is it all one piece?

And after seeing yours redone...I'd trade you for my two tone.

Not so...There was a tan int, RSP 97' for sale a year ago in St Paul.
It was beat to hell.

Also there was a red SC400 with two tone int...I think the person is a member here.

i love that interior sooo much! thats the exact interior two-tone i was looking to do before i saw this. thats sooo much better than the two-tone tan..its just painting the dash which is gonna be the pita. everything else should be fairly easy.
