I would keep it the blue... I think the blue is really nice.
I love the grey lustre but it is a biatch to keep clean and it shows EVERY scratch and ding... I can clean the crap out of the car and the next day it looks dirty again
All black colors are like this... they look great when waxed and clean... but if it scratches or gets dirty, it looks awful...

I agree with Italiano- keep that maj. blue! Total repaints are costly, and almost always end up with problems (I work at a body shop). If you do decide to paint- make sure you go to a good shop (which will cost much more) and if possible get a warranty. ( 2 ups for Carbon Black if you do paint )- beautiful color!

Ohhhh god do I know the truth in that... the electrical problem
... when my old 03' 9-3 Vector was running right, it handed my maxima its a** when they were both in stock form. Thats on the highway and in the backroads... Its to bad it had sooo many problems because that car had potential...
