I have the deeper blue of the G35's and I swear.. I have yet to see a single one in the last 8 months in the same color, in the Charlotte area where I live. It's weird. Must have been a low production color. Anyone have production numbers on the '05's handy by color? [IMG]http://www.steveshrader.com/g/Steve's_new_G2.JPG[/IMG]

Don't know how many were made neighbor, but the dark blue has become my favorite....or at least a close second to black!

Hey! Another Mustang fan on here!

I'm a diehard Ford nut as well. '99 Mustang GT Vortech Supercharged, and a 02 Lightning in the garage. 2 thumbs up for you.

Red is the rarest colour I think for G's. I'm pretty sure its a JDM only colour (I've seen only one or two in caryards here).

The blue is very nice, especially with the white/tan leather.

Nice!! Like Steeda products!Yes, I like Ford's as well, but shhhh....don't tell anybody here! Don't want them to find out.Anyway, my first car was a 69 Mach1. Have owned many other fords too.Had a 97 cobra coupe that I installed steeda sports springs, cc plates, triax on. Even got a set of Cobra R's from Steeda!!! Great prices!

My 96 cobra vert is basically stock for now except for a 98 console, triax, and K&N intake. Thinking about another set of springs & cobra Rs....Definitely need some wider tires!!!Pick of my current cobra



My 97

97 & wifes 98 gt (both traded now)

Pic of my 87 Tbird Turbo Coupe - owned inthe late 80s

Better stop, before they send me on vacation......

There are a few other stang owners here too!

Oh crap SVT you drinking again?

Don't drink and Type!

It is dangerous for the fellow G drivers. Every time after the 3rd beer we see the white stang.

I have a red G. I've definitely seen more red than the dark blue (I've only seen one). I really wanted the dark blue one, but they discontinued that color. So I went with red.

I'm a huge fan of blue too.....I guess it's the Air Force in me The Athens blue is sweet, but I go crazy when I see the Caribbean Metallic Blue!!!! Now that's a freakin hot color. Actually the more I look at both of them, they look very similar....humm, I wonder what's the difference. What is the darkest blue of the G's called?

As far as what's rare, there's a dark blue one and a Laser Red one that live in my neighborhood, but I have yet to even see a Caribbean Metallic or Athens Blue in person....ever! but they look freakin sweet in pics! I was actually looking for a Caribbean blue one for months before I finally bought my Graphite one. But I love it too, so it's all good So would the most common colors be silver and black? It would be kind of cool to see the factory database of how many of each color were spit out each year. Anyone got that info?

Sorry guys, I had a few while grilling some fresh road kill...

Thanks for putting up with me!!!!

My Cobra is my link to my past, my Infiniti is my automotive present and future. I have so many memories with my Mach 1. Learning to drive a stick. Learning to turn wrenches. Learning to do a 180 batman turn. Learning to drive a car beyond it's limits. Being chased by a angry boyfriend (in a cuda) cause I had his ex-girl friend in the car. I guess it was one of my first loves. I don't dream about my ex-girlfriends, but I still dream about that car.

Was at my local Nissan dealer yesterday getting two new Avids on my daughter's 00 Max. Also got her transmission and coolant flushed. Anyway, they have a new BLACK Nismo 350Z that they just got in. Will have to go see it today. I drove the last one they had and REALLY liked it!

Nice Cobra, SVT!

It's nice to hear the blue is somewhat rare. Athens Blue is what I believe mine is. I was actually going to use some of the paint color to put on my yellow Mustang as accents under the hood (Valve Covers, The rear gas tank cover, and other misc stuff)

I think it is. I've only seen a few in the last couple of months myself. I wanted to get one but there nearest one on cars.com was 100 + miles away.
