Default le Mans Sunset owners. Neg. comments?

Any le Mans Sunset owners here ever get negative comments about your cars color? My wife and I LOVE that color, but it is a different color from what you see on most other cars out there.

Anyone here ever had someone tell them its an ugly color or something similar?

Not that I care one bit what other people would think of my cars' color choice, I am just curious what people have heard.

orange is what comes to mind. . .orange!

personally. .i think it makes the car look like an older persons type of car to drive. .but thats just me. .im not trying to offend you it's just my opinion. .but like i say to everyone. .you paid for the car. .and none of us are paying your bills ..so who cares what color it is as long as you like it. .

I think it's a great color and prefer it over the Solar Orange they replaced it with.
It was LS was originally my first choice for colors until I saw the car I have now, Daytona Blue Roadster.

not too many of them driving around but definatly a quality color that seperates itself from the other Zs. Kinda like the DB did when it came out. Nice color though.

it is the color I would get for my wife only, not for me.
Just my own opinion, though!

Orange is the best color to own in my opinion. It makes the car look more exotic espeically to people who dont know what a 350z is. Supercars come in orange

Reason why I say so is because my last car was just like Lemans Sunset, copper-ish Orange color and all I got were positive comments, and we are talking about a NEON.

Now with my Solar Orange, I get asked to roll down my windows and people are always like "What color is that??!?!"...

I say Orange and drive away. Next time someone asks I am going to say "its a metallic blue".

On any other car I would say it's a color for minorities (and I do not mean any disrespect by that). It looks really nice on the Z though.

LS is my 2nd favorite color behind the DB, I didnt like it at first, but its grown on me. Its definitely something that will catch your eye as it drives past.

red or white if you ask me is the best Z colors next to black. .. .they bling when shined, blacks amazing when done right (plus cops can't see you at night) but to much work to take care of it. .. .LS .or how i love to put it ORANGE. .is like ehh (old peeps color). its not me but if it's you then so be it .only way i'd like it is if you brake it up 1/2 black 1/2 LS. .ya kno. .

I would rather get yellow and let Godzilla mistake my Z for bubblegum. .

LS is my least favorite color in a stock Z, but one of my favorites in a modded z. LS with the right wheels is sick.

The closest thing to a neg comment I've received on the color, is my mom saying it's "grown on her" and now she likes it.

I don't get the old folks reference. I always think of oldies liking more bland, not so loud colers like white, silver, grey, champaign... A bright metallic copper color doesn't seem to make sense for an older driver... Just my opinion...
