OK apologies my info may be a little outdated.

Magnetic black looks great with the orange leather and contrasting red tail lights. But where I live, all 350Zs are black or silver, so I went red and it stands out.

Go with Redline. I love my Magnetic Black 07 but everything shows up on it. This will be my last black nissan (had/have frontier/pathfinder/350z). Next black car will be a Porsche ....only then can i justify spending so much time keeping it clean.

if you like red, you should really consider the Le Mans Sunset. it's closest to red, is metallic (sparkle), shows lines, and just looks amazing on the Z...

You know someone is a douche bag and trying to showoff while not even being serious when they include their age. No-Homo.

Post a pic when you get it.

I have a black Z and use the car cover. My car will stay very clean for a week. When I get lazy, I can go up to 2 weeks without washing it. After 2 weeks my g/f think the car is still clean, but by then I have to wash it because I'm a little OCD when it comes to cleaning my car and I hate it when it's dirty.

K im not trying to show off, theres nothing to show off. I got lucky and lived through a bad crash and Im getting some money out of it... that didnt take any hard work.

Im just trying to explain my situation of why im having trouble choosing colors. For the most part im going wit Redline btw.

i had a black honda for 9 years. it was never clean, it just stays shining for one day. anyhow, i still bought a black Z. my favorite color is black, and black is the king of colors.

if you're deep into cleaning and detailing, then the black gonna wreck u up. just stick with the red 1.

still does not mean a thing, considering your purchase is a contract and being underage, you can not enter into any contract. talk about instant void of a warranty. but as for color, it does nto matter what color the Z is, it draws attention. but what is even scarier is you "claim" to have a lot of money. have youo thought abouut what you are going to do 10 years from now? by the way it sounds you will have your money blown by then and be living out of your Z. you are young yes and it is "your money", but there are a lot better ways to spend it rather than just blowing it all. but whatever, do what you want. i will be glad to give you a hand out if i ever see you holding a sign on the side of the road "will work for gas for my Z"

I had a red Z31 for 7 years so when it came time for the 350, I was tired of red and did not care for any of the other colors so went with black. Yeah, it is high maintenance but if kept reasonably clean most of the time it will good other than up close. At ZDayZ 2 years ago, it rained quite a bit and I never washed my car the entire week and it still photographed pretty well:
