Interior Color - New G37 Owner

[ajkeence99]

Hey everyone, I'm new to the site and to the G37. I am ordering mine now and will be picking up in august when I return from Iraq. Anyway, I have been looking at oblack the entire time. I am possibly thinking of switching to the blue slate color that seems very popular for a few reasons.

1. The long term beauty of the paint job2. Less NEED for washing/waxing3. It looks pretty sweet

My question is, which color is best for the interior with the slate? I don't see many pictures of peoples interior and am interested if anyone with the blue slate can show some pictures of the interior as well.

Here you go, this is stone and I think it looks the best with blue slate:

The lighter colors ... show every spec of soil you get on them. Kind of the opposite of trying to keep the exterior OB clean, you'll eventually be forever cleaning the interior with the lighter colors.

For every opinion, there's an opposite opinion. Yes, I disagree. I do not know if Mr. Anderson ever had a gray leather interior, so I do not know if his opinion is based on personal experience. Before my G37, I drove a light gray leather interior car for 6 years and about 63K miles. I have 6,500 miles on my G37 with Stone interior. Both interiors required no additional cleaning because of their color. Just the usual leather cleaning and treatment about twice a year. Just the usual vacuuming to keep the mats and interior clean.

Now, I like a light color interior because I live in Phoenix and want to keep the interior as cool as possible. But, I have not noticed any increased maintenance over my previous black interiors.

I have the stone interior (black exterior) and am glad I got it. My previous 2 cars (2005 Maxima and 2003 Corvette) had a black leather interiors. I found the black hid dirt well, but everything else would show. I had to "dust" the interior frequently. Forget about armoral. If you miss the smallest spot on a black interior it's noticeable. Add to that the fact that black leather is always hot even when it's not really hot outside. That's just my take. The stone looks great with the slate. I've seen it in the showroom.
