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 like my blueslate, it kinda changes colors depending on the time of day so i love it.

 

All the new colours are boring. They need to bring back Emerald Mist! Or add the copper FX colour, or the coffee-brown EX colour, or....

In any case, the only colour I would buy right now is Garnet Ember on Graphite.

 

A well detailed black G will turn more heads when you arrive at a party (IMO), but as you know it is a PITA to keep it looking clean. The lighter colors are easier to maintain (and cooler in the summer). Consider the Ivory Pearl and Liquid Platinum (07 & 08), Serengeti Sand (07), or Desert Platinum (08).

Your decision may also be driven by you preference for interior colors. For example, if you want the graphite interior, it's not available on the 07 or 08 IP.

 

I love my blue slate but the black is the best looking sedan. Just have to know how to maint. and keep doing it.

 

Red...I mean Garnet Ember

 

Only colour I'd buy right now is graphite.

Theres a photo on here of a 2004 in that coffee brown colour, not sure if it was custom or a weird import but it looked really good!

I'd say leave copper to the Zs

NO, don't bring back Emerald mist, I like have the one and only green G for miles.

 

i disagree that a clean black car will turn the most heads out of our color palette...most common, doesn't usually mean head turner. the most common G's are black ones...don't get me wrong, they look great...but to call it the head turner color of the bunch..i don't think so

i would have to say garnet ember is the biggest "head turner"...and the rarity helps even more...i'm not sure how well it will age, i would say the red would fade more than let's say a silver...or be more noticeable for sure...

but from the sounds of it, i would get a liquid platinum if i were you...probably the easiest to maintain...and with only a few body mods, it will turn more heads than any color stock G for sure

 

I personally think Ivory Pearl. I see a lot more of our cars lately and none seem to do much for me. However, sometimes I'll follow my wife when she's driving our IP and it looks beautiful to me. Not really sure why my car does it for me and others don't?

It's an S with no trunk spoiler and the only thing I've done to it is 30% tint and debadged the 'Infiniti'.

 

BLUE SLATE!

 

I have a garnet ember (red) G35, and it is beautiful. I don't see many of them, either.

 

PR, i do agree red is obviously a head turner...but this is an infiniti not a corvette, atleast imho. Csquared, for some reason your blue slate looks bomb to me, but when i c others on the road they look bland

 

And i do agree that black, when maintained, turns more heads like this one guy's at my school has a black G wid some nice rims and EVERYONE stares at the car in the parking lot. BUT i HATE maintaining black...ill try to post up pics of my IS to show you guys what i mean by PIA to maintain

 

Maybe because they dont' wash it? When my car is dirty. it looks really boring.

 

could be but maybe its cuz u have a lip on yours and its a sport so nicer rims. I usually c a blue slate journey mobbin on my street for wutever reason and i was like booooring.
