Saw the moonlight today

I was at the dealer where they had the color swatches and had both the IP and the MW. The MW is a purer white than the IP which has a bit of a yellowish (or I guess pearl) cast to it. I saw it on the FX and I think I definitely like it better than the IP IMHO FWIW FTW.

I hope it's not too different from IP because IP is one hot color.

BO FTW though.

Well, I'd of thought they were pretty similar (and they are fairly similar) too until I saw the two colors just a few inches from each other today. The moonlight is more of a purer white.

MW/IP FTW!

My girlfriend has a new EX35 with the moonlight white and when my IP 37 is next to it there is a noticeable difference. I totally prefer the IP over the MLW not just because I have the color, but because in the sunlight the pearl is whole lot more noticeable and just looks richer (sparky). The MLW does have the new scratch repair paint that heals itself somewhat with heat which is why Infiniti might have gone that direction.

On a different subject "THE SNOW AROUND HERE SUCKS". After not getting my G fix for over 2 weeks I had to pull my baby out of the garage and spin in the driveway snow for a bit. At least the sound of the exhaust gave me a little satifaction. (40 miles North of Seattle).

BO was also on the top of my color choices, but because I have a 91 Reatta that is black I went for the IP. Black is great but the maintenance to keep it pristine clean drives me nuts (and I maintain several vehicles). At least with the IP I don’t have to be so **** about keeping it looking good cause it doesn’t show the dirt as much, and to be honest it just looks damn sexy.
