I always loving checking out a nice Altezza. Looks beautiful. I still always do a double take when I notice the steering wheel on the "wrong" side

Dark blue mica is slightly different.. 8N8 is the paint code (same as IBP)
Spectra is 8M6..which is a darker blue.

You are smoking SBM looks NOTHING like the civic SI electron blue.. that blue is a much brighter blue and is not metallic.. its a blue pearl color..it may be closer to Intensa ble pearl..but still its no way as dark as IBP either..

2005 should have come as a Lexus too, or maybe thats not until 2006, but my friend said he just saw a truck full of "IS 300s" with right hand stearing wheels...

Indigo Ink pearl code is 8P4
dark blue mica has the same paint code as IBP (8N8) Its a 2002 and on Alteeza color..but I don't know if its the same as color as IBP ..japanese paint codes could be different...though many of them are identical to US codes..It looks a tiny bit darker than SBM. I do know that IBP and SBM and IIP can look darker or lighter depending on camera or lighting..

the reason our altezzas dont have the "blacked out headlights" is becasue that never existed here. its not a "jdm thing". i have said before i have never seen an Altezza with these "blacked out headlights". never.
Im not sure how much brand new altezzas cost but i paid almost 13k for mine with about 41k miles on it. Rs200z edition. neo front, WOrk wheels, TRD springs, and HKS exhaust. Those double din headunits are VERY popular here, as most japanese headunits sold are double din. personally i dont really like double din, but i have one in my car. Addzest is a popular brand, as is Carrozerria. weird names i know, but the headunits are good quality.
and our steering wheel isnt on the wrong side...its on the right side lol

Someone mentioned the 05 altezzas being badged as a Lexus. I have never seen a right hand drive Lexus Altezza since i have been here. The are all Toyotas. The 2005 Windom (Es300) Celcisor (LS400/430) Aristo (GS300/GS400) Soarer (Sc430) are all badged as Toyotas. I saw for myself about 2 weeks ago at the toyota dealership
