Minicobra1,

Can you please post a lot of pics of your car? You have the exact build I am looking at. I would like to see more of the interior both close up and from further away. Also, some with the door open looking in would be nice. I just trying to decide if the Persimon color is the one I want.

Congrats on the buy!

congrats minicobra.

I presume the LA autoshow car was PG??? Because I see no bronze whatsoever.

Park it in the open under blue skies, it'll look cool. Park it next to a beige building in the late afternoon sun, it'll look warm.

Btw, congrats! I'm insanely jealous I want a PG too.

All I have at the moment are these crappy cell phone pics taken the day after I purchased it. it was early morning 6am and there is a lot of dew on the car, I plan on doing some better shots this weekend. :-) I just had the windows tinted today, so I'll get some new ones with that, 3M film, medium in front and dark in the back, not sure what percentages though. but it looks great! Everyone that I've showed the car to is really impressed with the color combo, I have had only positive comments about the Persimon, everyone usually just says - WOW! when I open the door. The only drawback that I can see is that it will have to be wiped down with some leather cleaner every week or so, because the dirt will show more then on black, but then again it will probably last longer if you maintain it regularly. Black or Dark grey leathers tend to get neglected.

Yes, this is true, it tends to pick up the natural or artificial light.

Thanks!! I was a little stressed about the purchase, I didn't trade in my Mini Cooper JCW, b/c they didn't want to give me a good deal, so I will have to sell it private party, hopefully I can do that quick! I have an 05 Nissan Armada too, so I definitely can't afford 3 car payments. I'll feel a lot better when I sell the Mini.
Although I hate to see it go, it was prob the most fun car I've ever owned, so far..........

Also, my wife is in Japan on a biz trip, and she doesn't even know yet, she gets home in 3 days, and surprise!! I'm either in the dog house, or she'll want to go for a drive right away

Yes it was, mine is the same color combo as that one
I got to see them before the auto show at the Edmonds event, but they didn't have a PG there. When I saw it at the auto show, I knew that was the one for me.

Congrats Minicobra!! Thats the same exact color combo i am thinking of for my Z when it comes time to get it. Either that or the blue one with the gray interior.

[deeocom]

It was $40,100 which was msrp sticker, they had it marked up 5k over and it took about 2.5hrs of negotiating to get it to msrp. I don't think they would have went lower and I was pretty beat up by then, so I gave in

Not sure if this is accurate but it appears that PG is the same as 07-08 350z Carbon Silver.

alright man, get to tinting those windows and installing heated mirrors!

Guys, I have a quick question about the rim color for PG.

For white cars, the combo are usually, black rim w/ polished lip, gold rims w/ polished lip, and any other color rims.

For black cars, the combos are usually, black rim w/ polished lip, or any regular colors.

What is good rim color for PG? I am wondering Gunmetal rim w/ polished lip?

[sbkim]

My preference is to keep is simple and classy - leaning towards either just plain silver or brushed alum look with polished lip.
