And finally - looking for Black Obsidian Pics
Does anyone have some nice quality '05 (preferably G35x) Black Obsidian pics?
I keep going back and forth on the color - but I think this is what I'm going to go with. Just want pics to show friends

Wow that first daytime picture looks awesome. Hopefully someone will post some x pictures too. (Different wheels / tires)
My biggest concern...
2005 G35 Sedan, Black.
GEE, it's so hard to keep it clean!

I have a Black Sedan but 2003.....
I wanted the tan leather inside. I had seen some Black in Black and found them very dark.... My tan leather gives a nice contrast with the black exterior. I got some Llumar tint all around.
After seeing the nice pictures above (just cleaned), don't feel like posting mine which are not that shiny.
Yes it is hard to keep it clean. I plan to wash every 2/3 weeks myself... burn some calories at the mean time.

This is so tough.
While undoubtedly the car above is gorgeous... I have to ground myself and realize - how often will it look that good? Even if I wash it 1-2x a week at a touchless car wash (I don't have facilities to detail it myself that well - nor a desire to be contorting my body that often to do so)... It will only look that beautiful after it is hand detailed - either by me or someone else. (And then a few subsequent washes)
Oh the decision is so difficult.

Sometimes I regret of buying a black G35 (cant keep it clean).... but the bling factor is unique on black cars. ... so..... anyhow, a fortune teller told me that black can bring me good luck

How often do you wash it? And do you detail it yourself - or bring it to a touchless car wash on occasion?

VSIX,
Your G is so clean...hehe
Hey...does your sedan have the sports suspension? Cuz I still see a bit of fender gap. What tires does those 18's come in anyway?

Thanks for all your comments!
Mikeee2,
My G35 comes with premium + sport pack, with 18" wheels. I will check the size for you tomorrow morning... Yes, there is a bit of fender gap. And you know what, somehow I think that the 18" wheels look a bit "abnormal" for no reason. :P I guess I will get some 19"s or 20"s later. (btw, the tires are CRAP. The slip light came on for serveral times even I launched it gently on a dry pavement.)
BingoNY,
I have to work, study, and take care of my family members; therefore, I dont have time to wash my car weekly or even monthly. I feel regret when I see my car is covered with smog and dust... My car gets dirty once I get on the freeway... it is just IMPOSSIBLE to keep it clean!!!! I guess white should be a better choice for me...
Anyhow, I am enjoying this car evey minute!

Vsix, do you have the Turanza tires? I have those on mines. People on the forum said it's crap. To my surprise (maybe cuz my car is an X), I've never seen the slip light on except the couple times when I was driving in the snow storm. On dry road, even hard cornering doesn't produce a slip light. When it rains, obviously I don't drive like a maniac but even when I step on the gas at the green light, still no slip light. I guess X models have more grip even with the cheesy Turanza's. When they go bald, I'll definitely swap some bigger and better tires. THe Turanza's tire pattern looks crappy. Oh, I just checked the Infiniti website, your tire size should be 235/45R18. It doesn't look that wide for 235 though.
