To paint or not...
 
After seeing a few poeple paint the fangs on there Z, i was contemplating painting mine as well. I have a Pearl White Z and was gonna paint the fangs a nice gloss black but after photoshoping them for a preview i'm not sure wether or not it would look good or not. what do you guys think?

I believe that on a white Z that a darker shade of gray (warm hue) versus black might be better looking.

Yah I was thinking the same thing, I think a very dark black blends in a little to well...

The photoshop with the red Z looked okay with the gloss black fangs, but I agree, for a white car, going with a gray color would be a better bet.

Match the grayish black of the plastic parts in the grill and paint it. The catch is that it will be matte, so you have to get a fancy clearcoat that is matte, or leave it unprotected.

I was thinking of doing it, so do it and post pics so I can decide :)

I wonder what the fang area would look like, on white, if you color-matched the 19" Rays?

i have a pearl white 370 and was thinking about the same thing but, in a flat black??

If i had white i'd do gloss black fangs witha gloss black roof too. The lines of the front and rear window would flow nice with the black roof and black fangs IMO. But to each their own...

Is that roof an overlay or was it painted?

That roof looks awesome. I really don't want to have to paint with flat black cause i plan on getting black rims and wanna match but i dont like the look of flat black rims. Quite a delima were in. lol. It would be really cool to have gloss black roof, wheels, and fangs if fangs looked good. I was even thinking maybe painting the grill gloss black to match the fngs but that might be to much work.

I'm pretty sure it's an overlay, but the member never really answered: Updated pics....
