Pictures Please!

I'll be getting a G35x when my current TL lease is up in 3 months. I need help picking a color! I have seen diamond graphite and Garnet Red in person. White and Black I can imagine in my mind's eye. But can anyone post some pics of the other colors???

Thanks!!!

I love Diamond Graphite....That's why I got one....But if you like the color texture and that it's not too light or too dark, the Lakeshore Slate is just as nice!

nah...thewheelman is used to moving the car around with only RW power.

I did drive an X for 2 weeks and 5000km however, 1000km of it through the last snow storm, Dec.23. And I was almost impressed enough to change my order. It did feel more secure on the dry road, compared to the RWD, that may be due the extra weight, or stiffer suspension.

The transam is an '81 WS6 body with a custom '73 400 built with 1970 Ram Air III intake and exhaust, TRW pistons, 290/465 cam, '73 HO carb, recurved distributor. It is a completely original body with all decals, but the original acrylic laquer is now thin and a trip to the body shop is the works before spring. It has been my summer daily driver for several years. Here is another pic



The Slate/Graphite combo had to be ordered, one was on the boat, but it still took 4 weeks.

The tires are the Goodyears, the G35X loaner had Turanzas. They were a good tire, and I tried them in deep snow, packed ice, and at 140 mph when I took the loaner to Florida.

I purchased the new G from Agincourt because I had a contact set me up with the owners son. The sales director and him took good care of me. I'm actually in Etobicoke, but Agincourt is close to work, which is better for service. (Besides Dixie Infiniti just did not seem too interested to sell me a car the 3 times I went.)

The tint was installed by the dealer ($370-discount) as was the clearbra, but they are redoing the clearbra, due to a couple grains of sand caught in it. I'm having another installer clearbra the entire bumper this week, one piece, wheelwell to wheelwell.

I brought the car straight home and did 3 coats of Zaino Z2-Z6 the next day. Very happy I did that, salt just rinses off now.
