Ivory Pearl color

HI, I am trying to get a laser red g35c, but the car is hard to get here in So.Cal. I am also considering Ivory pearl, but I have a question. Does it get dirty eaily? I live in a desert community and I am wondering how easy it will be to maintain. I also wonder what your overall impression is of the color, and whther the it looks good with the rear spoiler.

Thanks

IP rules bro! My other car is black and it is an absolute pain in the a$$ to maintain. Just like any color of car, the lighter colors are much easier to maintain. Since you live in the desert, you DEFINATELY want a light color, my black car (I swear to it) is 25+ degrees hotter inside and out on a hot day. I absolutely love the IP, LR is a nice color too! IP mods well too

Heres my IP Coupe:

in the past few years 5/5 of my family's cars have all been white with light interiors. IP is definitely one of the easiest colors to clean: water spots and wax excesses barely show and the car looks clean even with a layer of dirt unless you smear it.

our IPs get dirty easily too... especially the rear, you can see black dust building up fast on the ***.

Yea...^^ I agree, the rear gets dirty easily. But my IP always looks clean. It's definitely one of the easiest colors to maintain. My friend's LR always looks clean, too. That's a hard decision. Either way, it's a G...you'll love it.

I love the IP color - but like the 2 above said, the rear sucks up a lot of crud. But in this weathger as of late, my car looks more like DG and not IP

Oh yeah... IP ROCKS... Especially if you want to slap on some GOLD rims... I agree with everyone on how the rear gets dirty really fast... Even more if you have test pipes... and yeah...you can't see it until it smears...

Areas with a lot of sun seem to be hard on red cars, and it seems like red draws the eyes of the law more than the other colors. I'd go with the IP if I were you. Good luck with whatever you choose.

If you keep your IP car well waxed and clean, you have to purchase a California Duster! this thing is GREAT, swipe the rear end a couple of times and like magic, it is all clean again!

I have IP on my sedan. It only takes about 2 day's for the brake dust to show up and make the car "need" a wash. Many IP car's have bumpers with a slightly different hue in the paint, mine does. I would have gotten red, but the don't offer the coupes red color for the sedan.
