Re-thinking silverstone... looking at LeMans Sunset

So basically for something different, I am thinking about possibly going for LeMans sunset instead.
Good luck with your decision!
Hello,
My 2 yen is, if YOU like silver, get silver. It doesn't matter how many silver cars are out there. Unless you're getting Brickyard or Liquid Silver, the other colors are gonna be seen often anyways. I have Chrome Silver, and love it, albiet it's a very common color. A big plus with Chrome Silver is that it doesn't show dirt as much as black or other darker colors.. again, my 2 yen.

Well, I own a 06' LeMans Sunset for 1 1/2 months now, and I do for a few other reasons besides the fact that i love staring at the paint job in the sun or at night under parking lot lights, Mainly b/c I own a 1990 300zxtt as well which is aztec red, and aztec red was the debut color of the 300zxtt and not only that I have a certified letter from the nissan ceo stating that my 300zx was the FIRST aztec red 300zx in the united states and the gentleman I bought it from was a long time z enthusiast who has owned them all, he is a family friend and i bought the car in pristine condition from him when he was 58 yrs old 3 years ago, after he owned it since it was new. that being the heritage of my 300zx, and me also having numerous extremely rare collectibles for that car, when i bought my new z to start my collection, i wanted some sort of extra meaning to the car, although i dont have the first lemans sunset in the country, I did make the decision for that color b/c if anyone remembers the concept z that debuted in 1998 when talk of the z returning started was presented in lemans sunset with black leather and orange stitching and orange perforated venting, ALSO all the interior lights are amber which makes for a beautiful theme to the car especially at night in my opinion. these were my motives behind choosing this color. and i have also started my collection of memorobilia for this car and have come across some nice stuff.
Everyone's posting pics of Lemans Z's, I figured I'd throw in a little CS for you to contemplate...

The darker colors are very difficult to keep clean and to hide swirl marks. I have owned 2 Black cars and will never buy another because its like a part time job keeping them looking good. With the Silverstone its way more difficult to see dirt. Just my 2 cents on the matter you cant go wrong with Silverstone. I do love the other colors though they all look great on the car.

Colors that are out for me are silver (chrome?), and black. The silver is out since I see too many silver cars as it is, and both my dad and sister own silver cars. So basically, if I get the Z in silver, it will be way too much silver.
The other color that is out for me is black. my current car (which I am selling) is in black, and I absolutely hate it. While the color does look very nice, it is just such a pain in the *** to maintain that I never want to have another black car again.
So the only other colors that I really like are just silverstone, lemans sunset, and possibly the blue as well. White really doesn't work well on the car, and I don't really like red much.
