its a Z it will attract cops no matter what

red fades in the sun so be ready to wax every week/month

black just needs an occasional rinse between waxings

I'd get blue, I have black and everything stands out especially scratches in the clearcoat and if you are OCD about keeping your car nice DON'T DO IT! The blue looks nice everytime I see it (Green with jealousy), congrats on living through a car crash and getting money, do what you gotta do.

That's what I'm doing, and trust me, it's only fun when you have your foot in it. When I'm not driving it, and I'm looking at my wallet, it kinda sucks. Bad. Anyways, I'd go with black, only because red is a little showy. It looks great, but eh. The problem with black is that you can't really see the body lines as well as a brighter color. This is why I went white.

i say stick to the red, make it your signature w/ your vehicles. besides, if you're adding the nismo kit, it stands out more in red.....my opinion. IN THE END, it's your car, your money, you do whatever the hell your heart pleases.

Sorry, just couldn't help it. Please crawl out of the cave.

lol, man I sense some jealousy maybe?

You haters cant tell me if u were 16, 17 w/e and had the opportunity to have a Z as your first car you wouldn't.

and no I'm NOT 17 lol much older...my first car was a piece of sh*t 89' Probe >.< lol

Anyway back on topic, its a hard choice dude. Red, Black and Silver Alloy where my choices and it was a difficult one to decide. I eventually went with the Silver Alloy, but forget about attention and all that non sense. Get whats gonna make u smile every time you look it. In the end thats what matters, sh*t happens, all you can do is prepare yourself the best u can.

Drive Safe :P

My previous two vehicles were black. I bought my redline Z second hand and got it at a good deal so didn't have the choice of choosing the color. At first I didn't like it cause I felt it was too flashy. But now that I have it for a year and seeing it daily, I love it. I'm glad mine is readline. Owning a readine does have a negative. Not many redline parts are available on the this forum for sale.
