Question Athens Blue or Black Obsidian??

I wasn't for sure where to put this so feel free to move if needed.

I made a thread a couple of months back introducing myself and my 350Z. Well, I sold my 350Z and now it's time for a G37 but I'm stuck between Athens Blue and Black Obsidian. I know AB is no longer being made and it's rare. And I know almost everyone has a BO, but I love both colors! If I decide on a AB, I have to either fly 400-800 miles to get one or have it delivered. If I get a OB, I just have to drive about 300 miles to pick one up. What do you guys think??

You need to include a poll vote on this thread, man. You'll have a much better result then. Me personally, I vote on Athens Blue. It's an easier color to maintain and looks fantastic on the G. Black is good, too, but there are many black cars our there on their own. An Athens Blue G is the color I least see.

I had an OB coupe. In my opinion it's the best looking color when clean...but it will never be clean. Even the tiniest imperfection is painfully obvious on OB...every water spot, every scratch, every bit of dust... Get the AB and save yourself a world of headaches, plus it's more unique!

OB would be my choice. There are lot of ways to make it stand out to others, it's what makes it stand out to you that matters most

Forget athens blue, either blue slate or black obsidian, i'd take the shine on these two colours over the athens blue any time

If you are obsessive enough to continually detail your car, but not obsessive enough to care when dust/dirt/water marks, etc. Show up, go for BO.

Otherwise one of the blues is nice.
