I went with DB cause Blue is my favorite color and DB is my favorite shade of blue. That said, I could stare at blue things all day long, like I'm in a trance. Black is cool too, but like everyone's already posted, you gotta keep it clean or it looks really neglected. Zainoed and polished black is really nice, especially on the curves of a 350.

PPW is cool, although one color you mentioned, cause scatches won't show and looks clean most of the time. The only down side with lighter colors is that when you do shine them up, they don't reflect as well as darker colors.

For my vote, DB...why mess with a good thing?

Get black.

Then go out and buy cases and cases of Zaino.

Lot of work, but it's like Passenger 57: "Always bet on black."

Gotta get Super Black. On a sunny day it will shine soo much. Then everyone can point out your door dings.

Once you go black ... you never go back (to black). The only thing I regret is about my purchase is the color of the car. I demand that the car looks clean which means that I can't drive the car eight miles without needing a cleaning - or park it for a work day without having to wipe it down before parking it.

I hear ya. I'm the same way (about keeping the car clean). I do waste a lot of time cleaning/waxing it. But something about a black Z...I don't know...it just looks bad@$$.

(p.s. I didn't know that there were only 259 SB 35ths sold. Quite a few must be here in SoCal...I have one as well!)
