Trading 08 for a 12..Graphite Shadow or OB?
 

So I have been taking all my mods off and preparing for my new car. I picked out a 2012 G37xS Coupe. I am currently in a black car and love the way it looks. I have had a black M3, a black S4, and then a black G. My thing is that I am so OCD/Anal, I really don't know if I can do it again. I start getting anxiety after it spiderwebs **** lol. So question is...

Should I go for Graphite Shadow? It looks clean and soo easy to maintain. If anyone has pictures of a 2011-2012 GS with tints or modded, or an older one with the 11 sport bumper, feel free! I know the is based on opinion but...whatever. I am ordering the car tomorrow and I will like either color. But it may be time for a change.

I am only transferring over my sway bars, spacers and drop so my Invidia, Gen-3 and maybe Grill are going up for sale. I have to drive clients around so I have made the decision to just make sure the car handles well and has a great stance.

I say go for Graphite Shadow. It is much easier to maintain and it is a great color. I happen to have black and as anal as I am about keeping my car clean, a grey coupe would be nice! Good luck!

Go for the graphite shadow, You have had 3 black cars already. Change is good LOL.

Oh by the way I have a black one. Next time I'm going for a lighter color.

Go for the graphite shadow, it would be much easier to keep it clean

Yeah thats what I was thinking...See I need some reassurance. I allmost bought a 2012 S4...I just think the value of the Infiniti is great. And I think the coupe's lines are real sexy, I love it. Its hard when you know your buying a $49,000 car lol. Graphite Shadow is a nice color. I thought Malbec would be available for 2012 but its not. Boo.

Any pics would be great of modded ones (non-ipl)

I know they're not '11 sport models, but I bet you can use your imagination :)

dont you work at the dealership? you should know what it looks like in graphite shadow

I currently have a graphite shadow G. Previously, I've owned a black TSX, a black Civic, and a black 335. I'm also pretty anal about how my car looks.

There's nothing better than a black car right after a full detail treatment. Then you drive it down the road it doesn't look anywhere near as good. The graphite shadow doesn't look as good right after the detailing, but it looks way better two days later. I can honestly say I won't own another black car that I drive. If I get a black car again, it'll be a garage baby.

I think you'll be happy with the graphite. I made the switch, and I'm glad I did.

Ivory pearl!!!!!

Graphite is perfect. Will give you a way better shine than a light color (like white) but will be light enough to hide the dust. I had an 08 AG, and I thought it was perfect for hiding light coats of dust.

Yeah I do lol. But I have never seen a graphite shadow sport. Only IPL's. I am leaving the dealership and getting a new job. I'll be making twice what I make now..plus my I get $400/month towards the xS. :D

Our dealership is very small. 60 cars in stock

That looks awesome. Yeah Graphite Shadow it is.

So, did you pull the trigger? Had this same issue, with the same car, a few months back. I couldn't get away from the black. Had an OB 08fx and said never again, then traded for OB 10fx. Regretted it 3 months in. But couldn't keep away from the OB coupe. Nasty looking. Regretting it a bit. Graph looks really nice....and will hide everything, lol.
