Interior color of my 4.8is
Hi all! Just want to know the exact color of my 4.8is. According to the option list of my car, it says my interior color is Creambeige, option code is V9GE. In the fact, my interior color looks like black, lean to a little bit grey, not dark black. Is the creambeige (V9GE) looks like that? I am pretty confused, doen't creambeige look like white, lean to a little bit yellow? Thanks for help!

Thanks for reply! So I guess what I have now is V9SW, instead of V9GE.

Hmmm, thats unusual. Maybe he ordered it sight unseen, thought it would be a nice color combo. Once he saw it, didn't like it and asked for them to change the interior color and it was done as a dealer installed option? The build sheet wouldn't change if the dealer altered something.

Or is it possible the leather looks dyed?

Yes, I knew it. That's why I ask here for clarification.

Now I believe that the previous owner changed the interior color for unknown reason. However, I am not sure that the current interior color is V9SW or LCSW, does anyone here know the difference between Leather Dakota/schwarz (LCSW) and Leather Walknappa, exclusive/scharz (V9SW)? Thanks!

So according to this, the 4.8is's get the exclusive leather with the V9 code. So the V9SW is exclusive to the 4.8is. I would assume that is what you have because I doubt someone would spend the money when brand new to do the switch. I am sure the dealership did that work.

Another way to tell is look at the seat. So from what I gather from pictures, 3.0 and 4.4's got the same sport seat. Basically just flat leather, with hip and back huggers. The 4.8's got the hip huggers, but also got detailed stitching. So the seat should look like 3 pcs of leather stitched together. I am going to say that is exclusive to the V9 code.

I'll take some detailed pictures of mine because mine is the V9SW code.
