Try polishing the car, it'll bring the red back.

I always wanted black but can't get myself past getting through summer with one so I have a PPW and love it. Seems like most 350z's are Silverstone..

I got black, I love the daytona blue as well, but I like to keep somewhat of a low profile and I really don't want everyone in my hood being like there's the guy with the daytona blue z. Bad also if u have a lady that wants revenge. I dunno I'm paranoid I guess.

I also would not mind the dark silver as the silvers are the most maintenance free and I street park my '06 Z daily driver.

But ultimately, I am a black car guy. Even though it is not as clean as I would want it to be 100% of the time, it's the color for me. dark tints on a black car, and one day with my black volk challenges with the silver lip... Now that is a sight to behold.

I got Silverstone. Had to settle, since it was the last NEW Z on the lot. The other 3 Z's were used 05's, and I didn't want those.

PPW looks so nice
PPW is a sexy color, personally I tend to like whites on large, luxury vehicles and suv's.

I really hate Z owners who neglect their PPW and then it ends up getting that yellowed look. grrrr.

I wouldn't say nobody bro. Every color has its haters. The more positive comments u get on a color, just as many people walk by and mumble something nasty. Who cares. Everyone should get the color they like looking at since they make the monthly payment on it.

I really wanted a Pikes Peak White, but the time I went in the Daytona Blue was the only one on the lot.

I wanted either a yellow, sunset lemans or redline, but found a killer deal on a new 05 CS that I couldn't pass up.

While the color looks brilliant under artificial lights at night, it tends to develop an almost yellowish tinge in direct sun light.

Also, I parked it between two other silver Z's during my Christmas shopping (how lucky was that?!?) only to have my brother tell me to wash my Z. Sad part was, I had just detailed my ride. The two Z's on either side of my car with Silver Alloy and Liquid Aluminum, and were sooooo much brighter then my chrome silver.

Oh well, I got 7k off of the original sticker price, so I shouldn't complain.

That gunmetal tint that gets dark around the wheel wells at night. Much love for silverstone, best color IMO.

I got SS even though i like the DB a lot. I decided that black was too hard to keep clean. Living in the NW there's really not any point to cleaning your car during the winter. Last time i washed it, i went to the store and the car was completely splattered with everthing that can be found on a wet road by the time i got back. Anyway I dont regret my descision (DB is a chick magnet....but also a cop magnet), the only thing i'm bummed about is that SS isn't a little darker. I wish it was like the grey that's on the acura TL.
