Ok these might help I guess

Candy Blue


Purplish Blue


Red


Orange


Dark Orange more like 350Z brembo


Gold


Dark Golden more like Titanium shade, I am planning to go for this


Last but not the least Yellow

BTW Mike, the color I got might not be spot on... but I'm going to give it a shot anyway.
even if its fairly close, it will be popular!

i can understand that white would be a tough go due to dust etc... but saying its bad taste well thats kinda well... everyone has their own tastes and opinions.. we all dont like the same beer, soft drink, type of women, car colors etc...

I don't go around saying people who get silver 370z's have bad taste.. i just say its not my choice!!

Thats a great shot. Nice color choice btw.

I may be leaning towards blue a bit, although i do still have some time to kinda think about it so who knows I could still end up with Pink.

Touche... but white calipers scream rice and tasteless modding.. IMO.

How many classy cars do you see with white calipers from the factory? How many Honda Accords and Mistubishi Eclipses have had someone paint the calipers white?

You know, just because it's something you don't see everyday... doesn't mean it is always a good thing.

Silver Z's aren't my favorite either...

i understand most dont do it. most do it to be "different" im considering it as I think I would like it and it would match my overall scheme. realistically im only gonna do what I think looks good.

But then when you say about factory, almost everyone has red and i agree it does look good. But I think for my car it would simply stick out and look good on its own, and not particular look good with the entire car (if that makes sense)

For eg if you took a picture of my wheel area people would go, that looks good (with red) but if you took a picture of the entire side of my car with the white that would look good.

Either way, whoever all posted examples of other cars etc ty, visualization really helps me out in what I think im gonna get.

Dai,
Here are some that I think would look good:

I don't have a picture, but I'm sure you have seen Shanna's Candy Teal brakes on her G35 at Z1, that looks hot on white.

White:


Aquamarine Blue:


Crystal Red metallic:




And of course, I do have candy pink!
Hey Mike let me know when you get that color in...i want the HOLY GRAIL
