Re: Help me Choose a Color!!

White, oh I mean "ivory pearl" is a utilitarian color. The choice of grannies worldwide. Gray/silver looks cool, but the freeways are crawling with silver/gray cars these days. Blue.. well there are different types of blue. If the "twilight blue" was more twilight and less sunrise I'd be down, but it's personally too light for me.

And with black; colors come and go, think of all the stupid trendy colors that time has forgotten, but black will always be black. A black car is a car that means business. Not to be f*cked with.

I love my black car and I've owned nothing but black cars but I'd recommend Twilight Blue also. It looks "almost" as good but it won't be as difficult to keep clean. It will also make your car a little more rare than the other colors.

Re: Help me Choose a Color!!

it's all a matter of personal taste dude. for me, silver and graphite are the best colors--both sporty yet classy looking. black is also very nice (just not nice as the other two) but gets really dirty easily and you'll always have to deal with the swirl marks. i was all about twilight blue when it first came out. when i finally saw it in person, it didn't really do it for me. red looks hot but appears more suited for a lady's car, in my opinion. of course, everyone has their own opinion and i'm sure that i'm going to get some negative feedback from ppl who disagree. in the end, just get what you truly like.

Re: Help me Choose a Color!!

After 3 gorgeous black cars (they definitely look the best) I got sick of the pollen covered car every day and went with the white. I love it! I think the dark grey looked good, but the roads are inundated with silver. The red is gorgeous but I'd feel like a 16 yo girl driving that around (no offense).

Ivory Pearl all the way!!! You won't be sorry. It's classy and sporty, especially with a light tint on the windows. Good luck.

My vote for Ivory pearl.........its not a plain stock white....the pearl in sunlight and florescent lighting can't be beat....and it will shine just a nice as many other colors....(but black and red will no doubt outshine all other colors...) I think it also looks the best with clear corners
It also doesn't show dust and dirt as bad as darker colors.....

Re: Help me Choose a Color!!

You'll be happy with any of them.

The choice should come down to the level of effort you want to "continue" to put into the car. Black is the highest maintenance with Twilight Blue being just as bad and you go down from there.

Also, if you don't have a garage, don't even think about Black or Twilight Blue. I would recommend that if you park in the sun at work you might want to consider a lighter color car too.

Twilight Blue USED to be rare but now it's getting almost as common as the greys/silvers.

Okay I take it back, that pic of the white with black interior looks good. I think the white with willow doesn't look so hot.

Re: Help me Choose a Color!!

If you're getting a coupe, get red. It's a sports car. Red denotes sports...intensity, passion, speed and confidence. Why do you think Ferrari's are red? My second pick was black, but's it's very hard to keep clean. IMHO there are way too many silver cars out there, just as there are way too many Camrys, Accords, and BMWs. This coupe stands out and it's a sports car...give it the color that reinforces that. Lastly, look at most shots in G35 brochures...they're red, enough said.

Black, Every car I've had has been black! Its the only way to go! Not to sound too negitive with the coupe, but it looks like a boat in light colours.

My second choice is BMW's dark metellic blues, but Infiniti doen't have those, so BLACK!!!

g35tuning... any of those colors you mentioned are beautiful in their own way. if you have the time, check out the "wheels, brakes, tires and suspension" forum below and look for the 4 or 5 sticky threads listing car colors and rims. those are threads for rim selections, but you'll find good pics of every color. personally, i like black and twilight blue, even though they are the most high maintenance. good luck with your choice!

Re: Help me Choose a Color!!

i'm having the exact same trouble, can't decide on a color. right now its between platinum and white, both look great! i agree with the other comments that black is too hard to maintain (ditto for dark blue), silver/grey far too common, red reminds me of an 18 year olds car, etc.
