Default Do you regret...

The color Z you bought and if so what color would/should you have gone with?

I want a red one but I am wondering if the sleeks and scratches will show up like on black after time?

If my truck was not silver I would probably go with silver but I am sick of silver.

redline is almost as bad as SB with marks and showing chips. A well detailed red or black Z looks the best IMO.

I used to have lemanz sunset, kinda miss it sometimes - looks a bit more exotic

now have silverstone - more classic looking, hides dirt, all silver parts like door handles and wheels, headlights, exhaust etc match better now instead of sticking out

sometimes I feel like silverstone gets lost in the sea of cars....

Mine is silver and although most ppl like it, I hate silver on ANY car, but at the time, it was the only one on the lot with a $24K price tag and the options I wanted. I would love to have black or ppw. Anyone wanna trade?

Yeah, but if it's lost in the sea of cars, it's harder for the cops to see!

I sort of regret the silverstone choice myself. It's not that huge of a deal but If I could take it back I would have picked daytona blue. It looks really hot on the Z.

I love my Lemans Sunset, it is such a head turner in this city. I love it It's orgasmic. My friends tried to convince me to go with the silver paint, but I told 'em I ain't gonna spend this amount of money on such a sexy car to camoflouge myself in silver to blend in with 80% of the car out there.

They thought I was crazy, but when I drove up with the Lemans Sunset, they totally changed their minds. They were thinking "orange", but once they saw it in person, they were drooling. And they love it when they are in my car with all the girls looking

When the next generation Z comes out, they better have this colour, I am hooked!

PS: i love how the Lemans Sunset looks so different in direct sunlight and then when the sun is just about to set. When the sun is setting, that is the best time when the Lemans Sunset gets this rich dark luster to it. Can you tell I'm in love with my car? LOL

Thumbs up

Chrome Silver here...and what a RELIEF after the last two cars I had were black.

I mean...I've driven it TWICE since I last washed it and it still looks CLEAN!!!



Honestly, I think I needed the break for a while in that respect...perhaps the next car I'll be more bold on color again!

I actually originally wanted black and ended up with silverstone. But, I have to say it's a lot easier to keep clean and it's very understated. I really love it now, ,

That is an awesome color. That and brickyard are sweet. I just like my car being a little understated, but I wish I could afford both, .

Don't get me wrong, I love the look of the silverstone, that would have been the car I would have went with if there were no Lemans Sunset. But unfortunately, the past several years has seen a huge silver trend in car purchase.

Another funny thing I forgot to mention how this colour is such a head turner. I picked up my sister from her work once in the downtown core. We were caught at a busy downtown intersection and my sister felt so uncomfortable with all the people staring at the car that she had to put the tinted window up because she was feeling self-conscience. LOL I love it

Silverstone is one of the sexiest colors to bring out the curves in the Z. Love it.
I agree it tends to get lost in the crowd, but its a cop deterrent. Also Silverstone has a F1 heritage.

Le Mans Sunset I think was the original color of the 350Z when it was debuted if I am not wrong. Very nice color, attracts lot of attention.

I love my PPW, had to have it brought from another dealer to get it the way I wanted and would buy it again.
