Flat Black 370Z. Yay or nay?

AK370Z · 07-03-2010, 04:16 AM

We all have seen the flat black Nismo by motoexteme (also here Talk me out of painting my Nismo...or NOT?). How about this regular 370z?

very nice and clean..liking the exhaust conversion..and im in love w those rims? anyone know what brand are they?

Demon Z · 07-03-2010, 04:42 AM

I really wanna like it, but I just can't. Some headlights would be good too.

Trips · 07-03-2010, 07:21 AM

I would say Yes, it has that Stealthy look.

Jordo! · 07-03-2010, 07:33 AM

Notwithstanding the fact that flat black is pretty played out, I think it looks great.

Not a fan of the tailpipe set up, tho'.

nogoodname · 07-03-2010, 07:37 AM

On a stock Z, it would look ugly. That Z is modded so it looks good in matte black.

m4a1mustang · 07-03-2010, 07:43 AM

Do not like.

LunaZ · 07-03-2010, 08:15 AM

Not for me, but I like it.
Except the shiny wheels are throwing everything off here. It needs black wheels with some gloss to compliment the shiny bits like the mirrors and hood vents.

HKYStormFront · 07-03-2010, 09:56 AM

matt black wrap? yes, great

that Z? not so much...

TreeSemdyZee · 07-03-2010, 10:20 AM

Not a fan.
The exhaust looks ridiculous, not to mention that it's a good foot from the bottom of the car where the exhaust routes. High exhaust is fine when you've got a rear/mid engine car, but this is just goofy.

TX_370 · 07-03-2010, 11:16 AM

Looks amazing!

Fly1 Motorsports · 07-03-2010, 12:01 PM

I'd pass on that. I like the matte look in certain scenarios...but here, I feel it cheapens the look of the car.

frost · 07-03-2010, 12:08 PM

Looks like flat gray

It doesn't look bad, but I would have to say nay.
