if you can keep it clean, go OB. itll shine over any other g in the lot if done right. problem is its a bitch to keep clean, and youll be wishing you went with AB after like a month haha. but if you can manage it, IMO there is no better look than that glass shine a black car can give

Thanks guys for your input. I'm leaning more towards an AB just because it is more rare and easier to keep clean. My friend has a black G35 and it's always dirty. I have found a AB in the Chicago area but I'm a little worried about picking one up from there. For the guys who live around Chicago: Would I have anything to worry about as far as rust goes? I know it rains a lot and theres a lot of moisture in the air up there.

OB. Reasoning it looks damn hot when it's maintained, but it is a 24/7 job to maintain.

AB is beautiful on the Gs. Love the black but it was not my first choice. AB is also comparatively rare.

very true -- OB's rather difficult to maintain. Remember, our paint isn't the best. But despite, I'd still take it over the AB -- for some odd reason, I'm not a fan of that color.

I would say AB! I had a LS and there were NONE around...plus it was easy to pull of a CF theme and some gun metal wheels. I wish I coulda done Lapis Blue on the Sedan :-D

^^LOL

Well guys I really want a AB but I cannot find one close enough and in my price range so it looks like I'm going to have to get a BO. Which is fine but I see many, MANY hours of cleaning in my future.

I d go AB! It s rare, it looks good and will be easier to maintain from a detailing standpoint. Plus there s lots of black 37 around already.
