Default Frost Leather Question

to me the color of the interior is almost as important as the color of the exterior. i am looking at the 350Z catalogs for both 2007 and 2008, and have a question about Frost Leather.

is it a very, very light color/shade of gray? almost whitish? or is it just sort of medium gray? i drove a white 2007 last friday night, and its interior was very light, almost whitish, and i really liked it.

is this the Frost Gray? i just want to be sure because if the Frost Gray is indeed a very light gray or sort of a whitish color, that is what i want to have. i hate that ugly black or charcoal gray interior, but it seems thats about all you can get on cars anymore.

Mike

are you saying that the black wouldnt be creased? and wouldnt be crappy looking?

or are you just saying that with the Frost/White interior things like this are more visible and easier to see than on black?

i think he is saying that those with the factory frost - including myself have been unhappy with it... it really doesnt take long for the leather to crease and get really ugly fast....

and believe me i kept up with mine...always cleaning it and trying to keep up with it...but i think that the frost leather is too thin or something cause it creases/cracks really quickly and then those discrepancies show up really clearly and it doesnt take you long to not like it any more...

my car no has 06 OEM black cloth...which i like in contrast with the rest of the cars frost dash/doorpanels/center console, etc..

They're just more visible. It's not bad or anything, you can just tell on the bolsters that someone has gotten in and out 1000 times. They're darker grey creases. I don't think that would show up on the black. I dunno though.

When you ask a chick out and she agrees, it's a date between the two of you. When she changes her mind and asks you to join her and her friends, that places you in the "friend" category. I already had enough friends...
