Best color for G35?
We had a DG 04 Sedan.
I have an LS 05 sedan now.
And we also have an 08 OB Sedan.
Favorite of the 3 is LS. Don't see as many and its a pretty badass color when clean. The black sucks. I really dont even like black cars. Even modded. While they look badass, i just dont follow the black trend.
My personal vote? IP. But Platinum Graphite, and Liquid Platinum also look good. When i eventually get my 2nd gen sedan, it will be IP.

Personally I have really started to like the red color of the G37 coupe, and some other reds in general.
My 04 Desert Platinum gets looks and comments from many, even more when I tell them the year. It looks like a soft off gold during the day, and more silver at night - looks clean when a bit dirty, and even after 5years - still looks close to new / hides scratches / can have some dust on it and its not noticable etc... I drive through rain, snow, highway etc...
I really dislike black and all the darker colors (personal opinion) they show all blemishes really easily, look aged quicker, hard to keep clean overall. The emerald green, black, etc... just colors that don't look that great up close.

hey guys, im new here. Well im thinking of buying a used 07-08 g35 and wanted to know your guys opinions on color choice. Which color do you guys think is best in this respect:
1) turns more heads as u roll up to a party
2) easier to maintain
3) will age the best 5yrs down the road
*i currently have a black IS250 and hate it. im never gna buy black again...unless if u guys state otherwise
sorry look at the above post...i dunno how to delete this

I say white or silver, not just because i have white, but because:
white/silver hides scratches better,
doesn't dull out as much over the years,
easier to maintain a cleaner look (looks cleaner longer),
don't worry about your neighbor, csquared said it best, just mod yours up until it looks like he's copying you.
Black, but only immaculate Black. Nothing looks worse than a swirled and spotted black in the bright sun. But nothing looks better than a freshly waxed and spotless Black. It also shows alot of pride in ownership since keeping a black car immaculate can be a full time job 
Our previous 07 G was Slate Blue, I thought it looked pretty damn good except for the chipped hood paint and pitted grill
Hope the new 09 "self healing" paint holds up much better along with the grill, time will tell

I bought an 07 g35x Blue Slate, cant wait to tint it and throw an r2c's on it- it looks great when waxed too. Black, silver, and red are all popular but whatever you get keep it clean. IMO just buy whatever looks good to you, not what anyone tells you-everyone has their own opinions you know?
HRP what kind of grill is that it's sick looking?

OB - but has to be properly maintained or you get the opposite effect.
2) easier to maintain
This is a trick question. If he meant what masks dirt and flaws then any lighter colour will do, but proper maintenance SHOULD be the same regardless of colour.
Also, the bumper plastic is black so when you get a little chip in the front end of an OB G35 you don't notice it from 10feet away.
3) will age the best 5yrs down the road
I think this would depend on your climate, exposure to the elements and how well you maintain your vehicles. Colour won't play a part. JMO
