I'd say black because that's the color im getting on my 07, but is it really that hard to keep clean? Ive never had a black car before so i really dont know. All i know is that a clean black Z is gorgeous to say the least. My current car (wrx) is silver and really easy to keep clean.

If you like black then get a black 350Z. Cleaning a car that you like is pleasure not a chore.

I'm a little confused about the OP's story... The dealer said you'd have the car by Thanksgiving, funny... that's what my dealer said about my 07. But the thing is, there isn't a Silverstone for 07. There's a Carbon Silver... but no more Silverstone. So unless you are buying an 06 or older, this doesn't make any sense to me.

one thing that sucks about the silver is fuel door,bumpers,sideskits,etc dont paint match from the factory so it looks pieced together.

My next car will be white just because it looks real classy, and its easier to match aftermarket body kits (looks not color) to it.. Gold fits awsome to white, so does black...ect..
Acutally White and the other Nissan lighter colors are a @itch to match right... Even the stock bumper is a shade off from the rest of the car depending on the light and angle you look at it...

Darker colors are easy to match but are a pain to keep clean....

I would go for the silverstone..or if their fazing it out like it's been said then carbon silver. Honestly the Z looks good in pretty much anything to me, but I'm a fan of the silver. But choose which one you feel is best for you.

What would you choose??
What colour could you live with every day you drive your zed to be??? Can you cope with hours of grooming your zed?? You're the only one who can answer that question. Good luck with your purchase.

Its definitely going to be a 2006 Model, the 'dealer' says that if I wait for an 07, then financing programs wont be as aggresive as they are right now with the 06's and so I would pay more for the car and, have higher monthly payments..

But thats neither here nor there...

It looks, however, that most you agree on the PPW color. =) If I do get PPW, then id definitely want gold rims like the ones on this G35:



BUT, if I get Silverstone, then id want my car to look something like this:



Theres just something about that v2 Nismo bumper that i really like...

That do you guys think??

Silverstone is the color Im considering, NOT Silver.

Reason i left Black as the third choice is that my last two cars have been black, and although I like the color, and nothing looks more classy than a black 350z at night down the highway..the maintenance is just too much. If any of you guys are like me, everytime I wash my black car i notice more and more dings/chips/etc and it makes me cry! lol

I think ive decided on PPW...i mean Silverstone.. i mean...i dont know!! :/
