Default 350z, R8....

Well, I think I'm nearing Z-Day. I'm gonna plunk some big bills down for either a 07 Silver Alloy Enth or an 07 Carbon Silver Enth.

But I've been checking pics out and thinking (only thinking! don't demolish me yet) about doing something unique with the paint.

Either:
1) Painting under the side rear windows a la the shape of the AUDI R8 'blades'. (ex. Silver Alloy, paint it dark gray/ or Carbon Silver, paint the area in a alloy silver or flat silver)

2) Painting the roof either:
a) Silver alloy: black or gunmetal gray
b) Carbon silver: black

Now that I'm done typing it I want to punch myself in the face but, what's done is done!

Orange FTW.

People will argue it of course, but I drive around breaking people's necks all day. If you want something that attracts attention, go large. Go orange.

The Z won't pull it off right.

Maybe PPW with a black roof and black out the lower bumper center. Even then though...

No way, i dont think it would look good at all. And why get silver, seems like to bland of a color on a sports car. Every other car around here is silver or gray and it just looks boring. To me at least it doesnt make sense, get a beautiful car but make it look plain and ugly. Get red or blue or orange, best color is black though.

Its a R8.. completely different. it has 4.2 V8 thats cranks out 420 hp and 317TQ..a little to expensive for those numbers though. its around 110k for a brand new one.
