Default Sunset

Take a look at the pix I shot today of my Sunset and tell me why you are taking heat over this color. They are in the thread above called "There's gold in them thar hills" In the end, you will have to be able to select the color that flicks your Bic, not what others are whining about to you. Regards, Jim

Do you want attention? There's no better way, nor a better color to stand out in a crowd, than this funky orange. It absolutely rocks in person, pics rarely do it justice.

If you're not out for attention, then select another color.

Even though I'm leaning toward the Daytona Blue, I like the Sunset color a lot. If you like it go for it and dont worry too much about what other people say.

Who cares what other people think. This is YOUR car and you should get the color you like best. If LeMans Sunset is your top choice, get it and don't look back!

Thumbs up GO FOR IT!

Never mind what others say! YOU know what you like and your first instinct is usally the right one.

I initially liked the LeMans Sunset color. But then others said "too loud", "too orange" and worst of all "you're too old for such a color, get silver"! Geez...I'm only 45!

I heard that almost 60% of 350s being built are either silverstone of chrome silver. I went with my instinct and like....LeMANS!

Go for it. You won't regret it!

I just happened to see a LeMans today when I picked mine up and I think it is a great color yet I think I would get sick of it after a short while. Glad I got Blue yet the LeMans was a close second.

Default Ya gotta love this color!

How can a person not love this rendering of the Z in Sunset? I must confess that the bright Arizona sunlight gets a lot of the credit for bringing out the best of the Le Mans Sunset tho. It is probably the most dependent of all the colors on bright sunlight to show its best qualities. IOW, she's made for Arizona! Regards, Jim

Yes?
NO?
I've seen ever color in person. There is no wrong choice. Only what's right for you.

But, if it's good enough for Mr. K........

When I picked-up my Z they had a Lemans Sunset on the lot. I checked it out but did not care for the color after seeing in person. The car was more of and orange color than sunset. Also the burnt orange interior was not impressive in this color scheme. I went with the Super Black it really looks great on this car. All the people at the dealership said the Black is the best looking color. Here is a picture of my super black

Get the LaMans sunset and enjoy. There is not a bad color choice when buying a Z.
