Decision on Color

wdkwang · 03-10-2011, 03:15 PM

i think it comes down to the vibe you want to feel and give off about your car, and also if you can live with that color for the duration of having the car.

imo:
white - clean/pure looking, good summer/day color, somewhat classy, and chicks like looking at white cars.
black - mean/agressive/dark/dont-f0ck-with-me color. looks the best at night with a nice detailing job.
blue/yellow - fun colors but a bit toyish. more for cheaper cars you just want to throw around. my favorite color is blue though, just not on a car except maybe a beemer
silver - no offense but i cannot stand silver on a car anymore. i hate it. everyone and their moms (including mine) has a silver car. if i see a silver car, i immediately turn away. the gunmetal/dark grey color is alright with me though

Here is the issue, I am indecisive on which color I want. I have it narrowed down to a blue, yellow, or black. What would YOU pick if you were in my situation??

didn't know they still had 370zs being made in yellow...

I would rather have Blue or Red over my Silver.

really..lol..a three way tie as of now!
I don't think its a typical mustang yellow, from what I heard it is a nicer looking yellow than that. I actually have NOT seen it in person but will be looking at it Saturday.

Black when its clean is classic.

I have black. when it's waxed, people keep staring at it.

I would probably not buy black if i knew Nissan paint was so sh*tty.

fairladyZ34 · 03-10-2011, 05:28 PM

I voted black.

My Z was black and now my G is black. Ive come to terms with the maintenance that comes with a black car but to me its worth it when its clean and it is after all only a car

White, everyone knows it's the fastest color.

cfweber · 03-10-2011, 06:11 PM

Didn't they stop making yellow? Unless you are looking at buying a 09 model.

The Yellow color for the Z only came out on the 2009 models.

The easiest color to keep clean is silver.

Pushing_Tin · 03-11-2011, 02:03 AM

My Z was black and it was a total PITA to keep clean and not scratch. If I had to do it again I'd get white or smurf blue.
