Thumbs up Help me pick my G35c color!

Hey guys, I just turned 21 recently and I'm looking to lease a 2006 G35coupe. I've narrowed it down to three colors: Laser Red, Imola Pearl, and Obsidian Black. I'm having trouble choose between the three. I wash my car about once a week and I'm going to be daily driving it, but only short distances. I went to the dealership and they were out of red & white ones, so if I do choose one of those colors I would probably have to pay for half the shipping, also they would probably cut me a better deal on a black one since it's in stock. However I do want my 1st choice color regardless.

Out of these 3 colors which do you think would be the best color for a 21yr old? I'm looking for something classy and sleek, but at the same time I want it to stand out as well which is why red kinda stood out to me. I live in Seattle and I see a good amount of white coupes. Also I'm worried that washing it once a week is not enough for a black car? What do you guys choose out of these three?

Also what kind of lease rates should I be getting for a 1 & 2 year lease option? They offered me 520/month w/ tax on a 24 month lease w/ 3k down. I think that's pretty high. What kinda offers should I be getting for a 1 & 2 year lease?

Also would you guys get the 2006 spoiler or not and should I get the sport package? I am considering new rims, but I'm not sure still.

Thanks in advance guys!

IP! Easiest to mod and super easy to keep clean.

I vote for Laser Red.


I have had two red cars in the past and when clean, they blow others off the road. However, have it be known that red is JUST AS HARD to keep clean as black. It's a dark solid that shows just as many swirl-marks.

Laser red looks amazing. Black Obsidian looks awesome as well (since this is what I have), however it is a full time job keeping it clean. If you don't like washing/detailing your car often, I would go with IP, LR, then BO.

LR for sure but getting pulled over = 30% chance more.

Black. With clear corners. Looks sexy as hell.

But if you do choose to go with the red or white... why the hell would you pay shipping? Negotiate on a price for the car and tell them to get it to you. If they want to sell it, they'll go get it. A lot of the dealerships have relationships set up to cross check inventories for exactly this case. The dealership near me didn't have what i wanted so they trucked it down from 2 states over at no cost.

Laser Red for sure...my first car was black and unless you have someone who is willing to wash your car every other day, then maybe u can consider black... I think red looks sexy as hell on the coupe...go for it
