congratulations! I love that color! I would have gotten it in a second but my girlfriend said she hated it and wouldn't drive it. (Its both of our cars.)
There must not be too many 350s in Australia with that color right? You're probably going to get a lot of looks.
Have fun.

Funny you mentioned that, I was thinking exacly the same. I saw another thread of someone posting pics of a Lemans in Japan with some Gold BBS wheels and the color looked a lot like this one. It looks too orange or at least more orange than the us spec Lemans (Mexican Zs are US spec cars).
Ofcourse It could only be a lighting issue, since the Le Mans changes a lot with different lights.

beutiful car man... I love the Le Mans color (so I got one).
one question only, Whats that "frame"around your rear plate?, don't know if I'm liking that. Mine doesn't have it.

Maybe your plates are longer as UK plates hence the need to broaden the hole and cover it with something.
Could you take some shots of your care in different lighting to see if the color is the same or if its in fact more orange?
Is it called Le Mans Sunset Over there too?

Yes, it is called LeMans Sunset over here.

Think I saw your car last week, was over in Perth for a few days.
Hey how did you chrome the front grill? Can you send me some info.
Did you get the wheels from Westshock?

Cool!
I chromed the front grill with the "chrome door moulding", found it in K-Mart.
I got my wheels from XSpeed.
When are you coming back to Perth?
