Found a photo of that “bronze trim” ‘01 dash with a full tan interior. Oh nooooo I think I need it... Looks good.
Also, here’s an apparently rare interior with 2-tone door cards and tan leather. Looks great, but I prefer my suede butts over leather. I also have no interest in hunting down those door cards:
Also, apparently they made “black chrome”tail lights for the IS 300 as well. I suspect these would pair nice with those overpriced black pearl badges I posted earlier:
I think these would stick out like a sore thumb with my pearl metallic paint. Would look good on the sort of titanium paint or black for sure.
I also haven’t decided if I want to do the red vinyl on my tail lights. It looks good, but do I care enough to do it? Probably.
I was thinking about throwing it in with my eventual window tint, but I’m on the fence about that too... [Insert fintail busting my chops about paying for a tint job to block out the 23 days of sunshine we have here]
So this is my life. I either have a project car that demands I throw money at it, or an actually decent car that suggests I throw money at it. Will I ever be satisfied with anything? For those who have met me: the answer remains: NO.

Definitely do the tails, its so easy and makes a huge difference. And I think I agree that the dark tails wouldn’t look right on silver though.

Definitely never satisfied.
I indeed think tint would be throwing money away, but it isn’t my money. I can still laugh at it though :) I think the only reason why locals get tint is a failed attempt to look “cool”, while really just making things difficult for pedestrians.

It’s a Toyota Altezza. It’s supposed to have Altezza lights :p
And leather is better because it’s easier to clean since it can just be wiped off.
Tan interiors should be matched with brown, not black, contrasting shit.

Leave the carpets black. Tan carpets are the devil. Both my and my wife’s car have light colored upholstery and black carpets. This is the way things should be.

But my carpets are already tan

All I saw in the first pic was that steering wheel I so dearly miss. The GS wheel instantly felt huge by comparison. Things I also don’t need but want to throw money at lol.

Oh, I assumed since you were posting pics of light interiors that you had a dark interior you were thinking about swapping to light. So now you have a new idea of something to spend money on: dark carpets!

I was thinking about getting some dark OEM mats actually. Not sure if it would look too crazy...
