+1 on IP! i have one and its very easy to keep clean
When it comes to interior you dont really have a choice. there was a lot of wheat interior sold. the grey interior is very hard to come by.
If you like there is a IP that comes w/ black dash and wheat seats

This is all great info guys thanks so much!

Do all of the '05 6-speed G35's come with Brembo brakes? I hope so because after driving an '03 Acura CL Type-S with the worst brakes ever even when I upgraded them I need a car that can STOP. Thanks!

Okay so I noticed none of the '05 6-speed's I was looking at seem to have Brembo brakes? Hmm... that's a little dissapointing. I don't want stock 17's I'd rather have the 18's any day of the week so I don't have to upgrade the wheels but not having the Brembos is a shame. Do ALL of the '05 6-speed G's not have the Brembos?

03 and 04 had brembos... not after that... and i think you mean that you dont want stock 18"s, you want the 19"s... and yes, IP w/black looks classy... I had that combo first on a 3 series, and then when I got that my G that's what I had to have... Anyway, good luck with your search...

Ivory Pearl. I would have gotten that over my Red if they made IP in 06 with graphite interior.

I have owned many black cars, thing about them as many people will tell you is they look amazing when they are clean but like crap when dirty.

The DG color really caught my eye when the G first came out, it was between black and DG for me, I chose DG since it was the first color on my mind.

I prefer DG, Black, and Pearl White in that order.

DG=easier to find parts that are already painted that color but also harder to color match.

white...gotta love the panda theme if u wanna go racer look..or keep it white and classy..but u can't go wrong with any kind of wheels on white..it stays cleaner and like sumone said earlier, it less noticeable when it comes to rock chips...black is to hard to clean..but it does looks sick when it is...hate the pollen that builds up on black..g/l on your decision..

My 03 ivory pearl has gotten countless looks and compliments. Easy to stay clean? Yeah, but living in southern New Jersey destroys the front end with bug carcasses. My first choice was diamond graphite but then I saw the IP and it was all over. Tan interior is not that bad either (1000x cooler in summer). I switched out the floor mats with stock graphites. It works! I've also seen hot black coupes as well. You won't go wrong with any of the three. Just upgrade to Brembo brakes later on.
