Help me choose a color to paint my G.!

hey guys/gals

Im getting my G repainted next year and would like some feedback
on these 2 colors. I already have Impul sideskirts and i plan on purchasing
a Impul rear from (O HELLA JDM), for the front ill probably just add a lip of
some sort.


The first color is from Lexus
its called Smoky Granite Mica (ill most likely add some metallic flakes)
(heres pics of a G35 with the same color)












My 2nd choice is from g35member(sundeviljay) G35.
(His color is custom but PPGFREAK can most likely paint my
G this same color)









Im really having a hard time deciding which color to pick so id like some
feedback from you guys

First one with some flakes for sure!! I've never seen that G on here before, it looks amazing. I also want the Impul rear, nobody has it...

Also consider Starfire Pearl from Lexus. I know some guy from SoCal has already done it, but that's because it's basically the best color ever.

Beryllium metallic is pretty sweet. But the thing is
I won't be painting my engine bay bc that will
be beyond my spending limit.
