so im buying a g37x coupe soon
and finally found one exactly how i want it, except for one thing, the interior. looks like i can't ever find the combination that i want. this is by far the closest to what i want, everything is perfect except i wanted to get the interior black or black with white/tan seats but this is good too
heres my question
I've searched other threads and managed to confuse myself, some say tan, some say wheat, some say stone, but yet they all look the same and insist they're different. the only threads i did find with pics either had on vague blurry pic or was a thread from years ago with a dead link for the photo
here is the link to the carmax site

The seats are Stone, if you look at the floor mats, those are wheat. I have the same color interior and i had an option of wheat or stone all wheather mats from the dealer.
I got wheat and realaized that they were more yellowish/tan than the seats.

 

i believe there are only 3 options for mainstream interior colour schemes: graphite, wheat, stone. graphite = black, wheat = tan, stone = grey. there was also a red interior on a few select trims, but that is a small minority of units out there.

the car in the link above looks like stone seating and carpeting. the thing that throws me is the dash and door panels which are also stone. i thought a stone interior came with contrasting black/graphite dash and doors. i know the wheat interior is wheat throughout, but the linked car is all stone throughout.

i actually didn't mind the stone/graphite combo when i was looking back in 2009/2010, especially when you use graphite floor mats instead of stone, but i'm not a fan of the all-stone interior. that shade of grey dash reminds me of rental cars.

 

if this is stone can someone provide pictures of a tan interior? So far ive only seen this, all black, black dash with contrasting tanish seats and floorbed etc

 

I have the wheat interior and while I do not have actual pictures on me, here is what it looks like :

this is the decent stone/graphite combo i referred to:

So I have a question on the wheat interiors...the seats, carpet, and lower trim are all what I'd call beige (wheat), but the upper parts of the trim/center console/dash for more of a brown. If I am looking for a brown 09 automatic console lid, what am I actually searching for? I don't think I want a wheat console lid, I want a brown console lid right? Does "Infiniti brown" have a specific name? It would seem I have a pretty rare/unpopular color combo of a tan exterior and wheat interior. I've been on this board for several days and seen very few pics of them.

 

idk how u guys can sit in the wheat interior lol

 

Not my first choice for sure but it's what was local, fit in my budget, and had the premium package. I bought my car with a ton of miles on it but, outside of a few items that I am replacing, the interior is like new. I test drove another with black interior and no premium package and it was trashed on the inside.

 

i see. sometimes cannot help but for me int is very important. i wouldnt settle. i can compromise on ext color but not int color since i gotta sit in it and look at it everytime lol

 

I'm usually all about the perfect colored interior/exterior but I was more worried about options and getting the VQ37HR over the older model G35 (and most importantly, I was doing it on a budget and was paying cash). I don't dislike wheat, but keeping it clean is going to suck.

 

My first light colored interior of any sort and it's grown on me.

Getting in the car and not getting 2nd degree burns is nice too...

 

so what is the best way to clean the stone headliner.

 

Woolite Oxy power shot or the Turtle wax with removable brush cap.

Put it this way, my puppy had a very upset stomach one night and dropped 5+ mud pies all over the light beige colored carpet of the town home we were renting about a month before we moved out. Picked up the above combo and you couldn't even tell a mess was made....full security deposit back.

 

Yeah, I have a OB exterior with the stone interior. Wish it was the dark interior, but honestly, it has not been bad to keep clean. I have a 2y/o in the car most days as well. Helps that I am a very neat person, but still spill and whatnot.
