Damn SpeedRacer! Your ride looks spotless. Not at all to trash the other Z colors because they all have an awesome look but SB and DB have to be the best. The others run a close second but of course this is just my opinion and probably doesn't mean crap to anyone except maybe those with DBs and SBs. Lets see what ares comes up with.

My only two choices were DB and SB. Really, SB was a distant second on the Z, although if I'd have bought a G35C, it was going to be black because the blue in the G35C just does absolutely nothing for me.

I'd had three black cars in a row, including my Syclone which I'm going to keep. I just needed a break, plus DB is such a great color.

Blacks do look very nice when clean, though. I just like the DB a bit better, and wanted a car that looked cleaner longer.

Yes, but not anything near the number of coats the good Dr has on his (see Detailing section, if you want to see the full depths of Zaino addiction).

I think the later DBs were supposed to have better match, as they changed the paint process a bit. My front bumper looks good, and the back bumper does most of the time, but the gas cap match doesn't show up well because of the light angles. The back bumper also has moments when it doesn't look to match as well, either.

Generally, it isn't that bad, but in certain lights, it doesn't match. I'd look at some later cars that are on lots now if this is a big deal to you, though.

Do you think all of the DBs will have this mismatch? Will it progress over time and why would it do that?

I don't think it will get worse over time on a particular car. As I said, the cars being made now are supposed to be better, but I haven't looked at one on a lot in a long time so I can't say for sure.

It isn't horrible on mine, but you can see it at times. It doesn't bother me...much
