Garnet Ember or Black Obsidian? Im torn!

HELP

Hey guys after months of looking I found a garnet ember G 6SPD.

Now that I can have it , im having second thoughts about the color , ex :
eye catcher, tickets , easier to spot?????

Black is solid classy, but hard to maintain. Also 6 SPD. Any commentary would be great I need to make a decision soon. The more inputs the easier for me.

CHEERS!

NICK

Seem's like you already know in your heart what you want. get black!!! If you wanted Garnet Ember you wouldn't have to second think it with black.

I am of course biased, but I think Garnet Ember is the best choice. I was worried about it being an eye catcher for cops too, but I've had mine 3 months and it hasn't really worked out that way.

Also, it may be different where you are, but I'm the only Garnet Ember G I've seen in 3 months. Most seem to be silver or black. That alone is worth it to me.

Id get IP or LP if it was my choice though..

As an owner of a black G... I wouldnt recommend it.

The paint and the clearcoat of Infiniti scratches so easily.... :S

Although, with the new 09's, there is a self healing clearcoat now??? If that is the case, and does work, then go Obsidian.

If I were to do it again, I prolly go IP. But since your not interested in IP...

I guess your back to square one. LOL

Just my 2 cents :P

Black looks great but is difficult to maintain. However, I think I'd still go with black if I had to make the choice again.

dont listen to anyone here or me, go with what you're heart says man, because if you do switch it out for the other color and second guess yourself again, youll be angry and come on here yelling at people. its up to you, either way they're both nice.

If you can't imagine cleaning your car at least twice a month go with GE.

I clean my Black G once a week...

fyi... i wouldn't have it any other way!

Red, because it'll be cheaper and I have it in stock. Plus, its a much more rare color, and it's easier to keep clean.

Black is, however, classy, if you maintain it.

Give me a call back Nick.

Being the owner of the sexy black G I'm biased. When its clean it is just straight sexy and sporty looking all in one! But when its dirty, it just looks like another black car! No regrets in color, the Ivory Pearl would have been my second choice. If you don't get the black, when you see one one the road your gonna wish you had got it LOL!!! Heck everytime a black one passes I'm like dang, that is what I look like on the rode, THE HOTNESS!!! Just kidding, go with your heart on this one
