Chrome Silver looks BETTER!

Why do you think they use it in all the ads and commercials!

But, I hope everyone keeps buying Silverstone. That way you wont see as many CS.

Chrome Silver ! My choice obviously. Both look great but the CS just suits the car so well and the SS just looks a little duller (no offence please). To be honest - I was born loving silver cars and I would choose silver every time.

I'm personally not a fan of silver cars, but I think the Silverstone looks better on the Z. It is kind of weird that red is now considered a rare color on sports car, hence why I had to order mine

I have the CS....the Silverstone appears to shine differently depending on the light.It's duller in the shade but really brightens with the sun and then resembles closely the CS.

Here is a link to the G35 coupe color poll over on Freshalloy. Diamond Graphite (Silverstone) appears to be the clear winner over there too.

IMO both colors looked good, but the DG just jumped out at me and I knew I had to have that color.

Default Silverstone!

I voted Silverstone actually. At first I wanted CS, but after a while I changed my mind. It's just exactly what some people have been mentioning that gets me as well--as far as there are a lot of CS cars on the road and I want a color that is a bit different than the others. If I were brave, I would buy the DB or Lemans, but I can't seem to get myself to do it!
I saw a SS the other day on a cloudy rainy day, and I was floored on how nice it looked actually. I like the contrast the color gives in sun vs. cloudy days. Both are very nice, I don't think you can go wrong with either one, imo.

I definetely agree with ICYBLUE1203 that SS looks grey and dull when its cloudy. However, silverstone looks great and very defined on a sunny day. My personal conflict is actually btw the white and the SS? You guys have any opinions on white?

My last car was white, but it was a PURE white. The PPW is a pearl, which leaves it looking dingy next to a pure white car. By itself, it looks good, but next to another *white* car, it has a dirty, yellow look to it. PPW was actually my first choice until I saw it in person.

Chrome silver here. Silverstone looks nice, but in the oft overcast northwest it looks too dark IMO.

Sweetness!

Default to be honest...

SS is my car.. and SS looks fantastic...

However, if I could do it over again... I would choose PPW... that was my on my top 3 list to start with.. but became concerned with my aftermarket options (which have since changed)...

However... current color choice is...

number 1... PPW... number 2... SS number 3... CS

Oh well... still really love my SS baby.....

you are right Steve - love the super black - wanted a black z - love black cars - saw a super black (ZBart's super black) just loved it - HOWEVER - did not want the swirl marks/high maintenance to keep it look'n new - SO I got a silverstone - love silverstone - much easier to keep clean - HOWEVER - when Nissan buys back my silverstone (under the LEMON LAW) I am going to get a '04 super black track.

on my second set of tires due to in another 2 thousand miles I expect to have to replace the front tires again Nissan has not come up with a permanent fix for the alignment/suspension problem. Rumor has it that by the time the 04 model comes out they will. Should not have bought the first run. Should have waited. Also we have the bose/paint/window grease/sun visor rattle problems. Heck there must be at least 10 tech service bulletins out on the 03 Z. Surely they will have the bugs out for the 04 model. I have had my Z in the shop 6 times for various problems. Don't have the time for that.

Smile ethan84ae - Nice Weekend

ethan84ae:

That was a very nice weekend you two had...

We watched the slide show, and were impressed with the photos of the Green Houses, and the English style hotel / Gardens.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers Amy -
