Black is super SEXY............but a PAIN to keep clean. I had a 2.5 before that was super black, a PAIN but worth it. Now I have a 3.5 Altima, two worlds apart the engines..............you'll love the VQ.

Congrats on the new car! Pretty soon you'll catch that mod itch. To temporarily cure it, I'd suggest installing an INJEN intake. I guarantee that your car will sound like a G35. Mine sure does

Black is awesome, but I agree its a pain to keep clean...I really wanted a precision gray but to get a 6 MT with what I wanted was impossible, everyone I Found online was sold or was a dealer request...so I settled for black, man I love it when its clean!

I got em when I had my 2.5 when I used to take it to the car wash with the brush. I honestly would recommend to take i to a brushless cash wash, then detail after the wash. So hard to avoid em...........if you hand wash, do it yourself car wash with the spray, and brush. Touchless, brushless, with the jet sprays man!!
