I like really like the yellow, but sometimes I think it might be too much sometimes. Maybe one of these days they'll have a color shifting car to adjust to my mood lol.

The Z gets enough attention already no matter what color it is. I think the yellow Zs are cool and I like to look at it but I'd never drive one. Besides that, the color is bright and flat so you won't get much of a reflection out of it after a nice zaino job.

i cared a lot about what color my z is and i got black

Sensation350Z

meh, I know what you mean. i got SS because I wanted it too.

When I said that DB, RL, and UY are preferential colors, I wasn`t trying to say that SS, SB, PPW, and CS were not. I was basically trying to say that silvers and whites and black are more common.

I think yellow would be more popular if Nissan's hadn't gone with French's Mustard yellow. The shade of yellow they use (bus, taxi?) is gross.

If they had went with something like Porsche, Lambo, Audi, etc. uses (nice and bright), then it would have been better.

However, the worst color on the Z isn't the yellow (second worst), IMO the WORST color is PPW. I actually like white, but on the Z the bumpers don't even match. The splash guards are also a different shade of white. Why release a pearl white color if they can't even formulate paint to be close to matching on different surfaces? (I know all colors don't match exactly on the bumpers, but the PPW white is a totally different hue, the bumpers look like someone pissed on them!).



I went with SS b/c I work next to a rock factory and there's so much dust. If I worked somewhere else I would have went with black, b/c black with black wheels + polished lip looks hot.

Ditto. I see it when I drive by dealerships sometimes, and they could have picked a better yellow.

Yes, that sums up my view perfectly. Nicely put lol

Yellow is nice... I like it being a rare color so far. In Canada only the 35th Anniversary Edition comes in yellow

I love yellow, My bike is yellow and black and I wouldnt mind having a yellow Z however Im not a fan of the OEM yellow color nissan offers.

each to their own.

Its not bad but not my cup of tea. Does that make it a bad color? not at all. I'm just not a big fan.

Matches fine on my dad's and its a 2004.5 PPW Touring.

I don't just think that's a PPW problem, because I've seen a lot of Z's without matching parts. It's probably the primer or texture. Even my SS Z's bumper is very slightly different. And I've seen blues that make me wonder why people accepted them!

I love my yellow Z. It combines the best yellow that Nissan makes (SpecV/Xterra/Frontier yellow) with metallic.

My original choice was DB, but when they introduced the UY, I just had to have it. There are a few yellow cars in the lot of one of my clients, but there are only two yellow cars that stand out -- my UY Z and a yellow Mazda 3.

Wow Sensation, calm down a little!! I'm sure everyone cares about what color car they get, thats why I got PPW, I didn't want to wake up every morning to this yellow thing in my garage!! And I can't imagine waking up to anyother color then PPW!! Yellow, red, blue, green, pink, ect... are colors that you REALLY have to like to get a car that color!! A car isn't like a wall, if you don't like the color you just go to Home Depo, pick another color, and have them mix it! Its not cheap to paint a car if you don't like the color a month or two down the road! So people just pick the color that they know they are not going to get sick of seeing!! Yellow is just not everyones cup of tea, vodka, or what ever you like to drink! (PS not in any way, shape, or form calling Yellow Zs "things")

My bumper matches because it had a little run in with a racoon and I had to get a new one, the colision center matched the color perfectly!!! Now on the other hand when Nissan put on my splash guards they didn't match

Sensation350Z

Why should I calm down? I`ve been totally calm this whole time.. Kinda hard to tell over the internet though I suppose. Anyway, you basically said what i`ve been trying to say this whole time.

Destiny350Z

Well I just know you get your undies in a twist sometimes!! Well I'm glad I could reinforce your point!!

So i visited a local dealer today and they had a Silverstone, Yellow, and Red. WOW, it was SO damn bright seeing the red and yellow next to each other lol. Not to mention it was a sunny day. I had to squint my eyes a bit to take a good look at the yellow closely. All the paint colors have these flakes, but it can't really be noticed far away.

For the yellow, it sure was bright. A very cofident color nontheless. In terms of relfectiveness, there wasn't very much compared to the red. But the red wasn't too reflective either (compared to a black car). But after washing my car (black rsx) and seeing all the unavoidable swirl marks, I decided to get prolly blue or red. I'd still consider the yellow, but still afraid of waking up one morning and regreting lol.

At first you'll feel everyone eyeing a yellow Z, Afterawhile, you won't care your Z is yellow, just the people around you.

My brother drove my Z today and said it was an attention getter.

I had a 2003 Silverstone and really liked the color, but the UY made it that much more exotic and interesting. In the sun, there's nothing like the brilliant sparkle of the paint. I've had every other color out there and yellow just seemed different to me and I'm regretting it in the least.
