What color should I pick???

Post by **OttawaCoupe** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 1:15 pm

Hey guys,

I'm a soon to be owner of an A/C 2.5S. I will be getting delivery at the end of the week. My 1st choice was black, but the dealership called today to tell me that there aren't any left in Ontario/Quebec. My plan was to get the Stillen front spiltter, and some bronze wheels (NISMO 18"). Now that i can't get black, i'm torn, between red & dark grey. I still would like to get some bronze wheels/front splitter...this where i need your help/opinion!!

Would bronze wheels with black front splitter, look good on the dark grey? Or should i go with red and get some black wheels?

C'mon guys..need some input ASAP as i need to get back to the sales guy!!

Thanks!!

Welcome to NICO!

I would go with the Dark Slate. Being that I have one and I'm biased. Plus, I think the color scheme you were going for with a Black Coupe can still be achieved with the Dark Slate.

By the way, I see your from Ottawa. I'm actually going to visit between November 6 - 11th.

Red.

EDIT: Just noticed you're from Ottawa, you should come out to the local Nissan/Infiniti meets.

It's all personal opinion, but I will say this. I was torn between red and black, and ended up with red. I absolutely love the colour. I think it shows off the lines of the A/C really nicely. My only concern is that the car doesn't belnd with traffic when you're movin along, if you know what I mean: a bit of a cop magnet.

Red with bronze wheels would look sick

Get white!

But if that's not an option... I would go for red. There are quite a few members on this board with really good looking red coupes.

RED! that was my initial choice but i got screwed so I went with my second pick which was white.

RED looks hot hot hot. Dark slate looks like rhino doo.

Biased towards the dark slate...love it!

Check out precision grey! My first choice was also dark slate, but I kept looking at the precision grey, and it grew on me a lot, and finally chose it. I like it a lot better than the slate now, because I never liked how the tints looked on the dark slate

Thanks for the input guys...so i called the dealership today and apparently there is only one 2008 altima coupe 2.5S left and it was a demo w/6K km. Anyhow i told him that i wasn't interested, so instead i'm gonna go with a 2009. So in the end, i will be getting the black one like i wanted!!

Original plan of getting some bronze wheels, and black front splitter is back on!

Can you guys let me know of some nissan/infinity clubs around Ottawa?

Thanks again!!

I think you're screwed. No one lives in Ottowa, to my knowledge.

This is crazy!!! So the dealership just called and told me that the ONLY 4 black 2009 A/C’s have already been sold, all in the Toronto. He said that if I’m set on the black one, I’ll have to wait another 2-4 weeks, for the September production to hit dealerships. AAARRHHGG, Come on Toronto leave some for the rest of us!! lol

RED.. I bought black because I didn't want a cop chaser, but if you don't live in NEW York(we have a ton of cops EVERYWHERE) or if you drive normally, definatly go for red.
