Pikes Peak White is the only way to go.

At least the Presidents of NISMO think so.

I love blue! And when i saw the DB in the show room i fell in love. I think it is a mix between a black and a red...It looks awsome in the dark and in the light. And you can pull off having some dirt on the car. I like black but i don't have the time to keep it nice and clean..also with black swirl marks would be a big problem..
i also like the fact that Injen put out a blue intake that matchs my color perfect..

Well chit, now you guys have me really confused. I'm placing order tomorrow for ZR. I have done no work, missed meals, sleep only 3 hrs a night and have almost given up golf trying to decide on just the right color and options.

Ok, so it's back to the coin flip..... heads its the SB w/BO leather (some of best pictures are at http://www.cliffshade.com/350zr/gallery.asp)............ Tails it the LS w/BO leather (based on JimH's in AZ, some of the best photos on this site).

And the Winner Is.............. Which ever one the Wife likes best. LOL. Hey, I've got 'till tomorrow to decide.

All you posters have been a huge help, can't wait to really join the group.

Brick doesn't move me much
Red and Blue both look awesome to me.
Black, silver(chrome or stone), white: nice but plebian

I gotta say I love my silverstone in the sun. It just shows off all the lines and the flaring of the fenders really nicely. After that the blue is a beautiful color. CS while looks good, could be silver from any other car out there. Black looks good for a while but even if super well cared for will show little swirles and stuff within a few years and just not look as good. I like that my silverstone can be pretty dusty/dirty but you really can't even tell and the car still looks great.

i would have to agree with that. Also it seems that white just looks more classy than all the other colors. I dont like the blue much and if id have to choose again, id probably go with the Silverstone. the black is too hard to keep clean and the chrome silver is played out IMO.

i love white. its ironic too, becuase if you would have asked me a year ago what color id choose, id most def. pick black or silver. but in already owning a silver car i wanted something else and black was too hard to keep looking good and white just look sick when i saw my brothers.

daytona blue...........blue is proven to have a "calming" effect on the brain, and people really compliment the blue when they see it. you dont see any cars in that color besides the 350z unless it is custom.

The honda Civic Si has a Blue quite similar to that of the blue on the 350. Also have seen a an EXT stock from the factory with a very similar blue too.

Right...

I love the way the silverstone "changes color". In bright sun light it is almost chrome looking. On overcast days it is a gun metal gray.

Just a beautiful color.

Very true indeed. i was looking at getting the Silvestone instead of the white. but the white has just that bit of edge of the silverstone. My two fav. color combos are the PPW/Frost and Silverstone/Burnt Orange.

I have a Sunset and get lots of thumbs up. And, there are a few people that hate the color.

I also hear nice comments about the red.

You know what......i'd drive any of the colors!! I love them all! My 300ZX was black, and i really wanted a white one when i was buying it...none available! Have had red twice, black once, bronze, light blue and white. i guess ive always stayed away from silvers because it's so common on the road in every make and model.....I'd definitely think about the liquid aluminum though!

Logic would indicate that if CS is the most common Z color it is also the best, unless you think people that buy the Z want one that is not the color they like the best. Don't you just hate logic

Of course it could be that CS is the color Nissan made the most of as well as promoted the most.

Don't you just hate logic!

course it could be that people see so many silver bmw's and others and then automagically stand in the long silver line like so many robots! :P

As good as it looks in the sun, I think Silverstone looks even better in the shade:






And you are absolutely right about it looking good even when it's not real clean.
