Calling all Diamond Graphite, Lakeshore Slate, and Twilight Blue Owners

I apologize for creating this post, but I really have been looking hard through gallery's, pictures, and lots to get a feel for these colors. I'm down to the three in the subject. I think my preference is

1. Lakeshore Slate
2. Twilight Blue
3. Diamond Graphite

I'd appreciate links or just post pictures of your car or other's cars with these colors. Also, if you could let me know how you feel about the color after owning the car i.e. likes, dislikes. Thanks a bunch.

Damon

I've had D/Graphite and loved it. Very low maintenance.
My buddy has Lakeshore Slate and it's equally great and low maintenance.
The darker colours are nice but higher maintenance.
You choose.

When Lakeshore Slate pictures came out last year I had my mind set on getting one. Once I saw it for real my mind was clearly made up and the wheels for '05, SOLD !!!

That's a beauty G-Force. Do you have any side-profile pics? I'm also back and forth on the spoiler. Can't decide.

Here's a twilight blue for ya.

Great color if u don't mind washing it 24x7
Maybe that's why it was only offered in the coupes for 04. Too many ***** complaining.

DG's are the most common while the TB's are probably more rare. I don't see too many of them around.

Peter........your car is looking good as usual.

Geewilkers....great pics of your ride, looks real good.

Damonb10...I think any of those colors look great. I went through the same decisions as you. The choice is yours.
When I was shopping for our G35, I also considered these colors.
Twilight blue....looks fantastic under all lighting conditions but is a real bear to keep clean.
Diamond Graphite...great color, a lot easier to maintain but is a very popular color so there are a lot around.
Lakeshore Slate.... another great color, fairly easy to maintain, not as many around in this color, and my wife fell in love with the color as soon as she saw it. ( someone already posted a pic in this thread of my Lakeshore Slate from my Cardomain site )

It's nice to see the colors all in one place to help decide. Based on what I'm seeing, I think I'm sold on the Lakeshore Slate. Very nice color and also unique. I especially like the attached pic from Infiniti's website.

Here is a picture of a twilight blue sedan sent to me from "Cato". I'll post here for comparison; I hope he doesn't mind.

I have a DG sedan, and I really like the color and they way it helps to keep it clean looking. But as noted above, DG does seem to be the most popular color out there, so if you want to be different...

Anyway, here are some links to some pictures that I just took of my car...

Picture 1

Picture 2

Picture 3

Those were my 3 choices also. I didn't like the Twilight blue when I saw it in person so I was down to DG and Lakeshore. It was a toss up and I went with DG, but when I see a lakeshore G I say maybe I should have gotten that instead, until I look again at my DG and say what a great color. The thing I like about DG is that it is a very interesting color which I don't think I will get bored with. Plus it is very low maintenance although I think Lakeshore is also low maintenance.
