I just came across with an article on CAR ME's website about the upgrades for the Lexus LX 570 in UAE, and what really caught my attention was the “glass fake” photo luminescent material available in conjunction with a new exterior colour called ‘Starlight Black’! The article refers to this material as ‘the sparkles of sparkles of a star filled night sky through a new “glass fake” photo luminescent material'.
I did a quick search on the net, but no photos at all. I visited also the Lexus US website, where the LX is also available, but again nothing... I won't give up though. It sounds like a bargain version of RR's "Starlight Headlining”... available as an option on the Phantom Coupé, which is basically over 1,600 fibre-optic lights being hand-set into the headlining! Cost? $12,100... Ouch!
Other changes for 2011 include a new new soft semi aniline leather dyed in saddle tan tone and matched with a black tonality. The two-tone effect is continued on the dash and door panels.

Kaizen Factor co-editor Flipside909 theorizes that the "glass fake" may really be a mistyped "glass flake" that refers to the coarse metalflake look (where the metallic flakes are really abundant, prominent and visible) in Lexus'new Starlight Black exterior color.
返信削除You could be right, since it is not available in any other market. Thank you very much for pointing it out!!!

返信削除It's awesome to see the above photo of one attractive Lexus model. I hope my used Lexus model should of this type.
