Anyone else regret the color of their Z

Ziggyman · 03-19-2013, 02:38 PM

After the last 3 cars I owned were black roadster, black roadster, dark blue vert, I wanted a change, a lighter color and a roof.

I almost bought a PW in NY, had the dealer returned my email I probably would have. Love my SR in the sun, though there is no sneaking around in this color, at least with this car. I swear it makes other people drive faster!

I really wanted the Persimmon interior but only liked that with Black or Gunmetal.

That’s part of why I like this forum, all kinds of combos and mods to compare.

No but you don't see swirls is what I am saying.

I know, but the color pops more. I'm just glad the black has some metallic flakes in it vs just being a solid black.

Still loving my KAV color, especially on a sunny day.

I love the color I chose but Nissan should bring the metallic blue, the yellow, and the copper from the 350Z. Would really enjoy seeing them on a Z34.

I could do without the Yellow. I think yellow cheapens the look of a car....with the exception of supercars

i think those colors would really stand out with the body lines of our Z

yellow looks nice if done right. someone on the forum as yellow Z that looks badass!

Platinum Graphite Metallic. no regrets.

JohnsZ · 03-19-2013, 05:21 PM

Before buying my 370Z, my first choice was red. But after I saw a CY, it just looked right on the Z. It's definately a head turner! Funny thing is however as much as I love the color yellow on the outside, there's something about driving it and seeing a yellow hood that I'm still not used to and I've had the car for almost 10 months. Maybe it's because I've never had a yellow car before. Hard to explain! Anyway, my next Z will either be red or white or maybe black cherry! Oh ya, I should add that yellow is very easy to keep clean.

I wish they offered a green Z, black is tough looking but hard to keep clean....

Well Nissan did have a great pearl white paint code QX1 (Glacier Pearl/Pikes Peak) that they used on the 02/03 Maxima's and 03-08 350z's. The pearl on my Max is much better than on my 370's (although still subject to the chippy front end), I had this 03 Max since it was new and everyone is like wow on the condition of it and its paint!

I wish they still had the Yellow, that would've been my choice. Looks amazing with the amuse kit and bronze TE37
