Smile Just Got Mine 2004 Liquid Aluminium Touring !!

I had been trying to locate this new color for a month now, and finally got mine. Rare color, the name shows the color ( Aluminium)I love it ! I called Nissan to locate me the car, I drove 220 miles from Los Angeles to small town bothers Mexico called Imperial, Ca. Rogers & Rogers Nissan to pick it up. Excellent! Excellent Service ! The salesman drove my other car while I am driving my new Z. Got to L.A , dropped off my other car at my house, and I sent him to LAX international Airport to fly back. Two Thums up service, Any friends want to buy any Nissan, Very highly recommended Dealer Need help Call 760-352-2900 and ask for Mauricio Fernandez. Any Comments!

I hope your other pics show off the color better... based on the ones above, I'd say it looks about the same as CS and is definitely not a good replacement for Brickyard.

Automatics come with the 17 inch wheels.

It just looks like a lighter shade of CS. I can't tell from the pics if the color is any deeper or flashier...

Kinda disappointing, but I hope you're happy with it.

Looks silver, I agree a bad replacement for the brickyard.

I bet that once somebody gets some Zaino on a Liquid Aluminum you'll see where that extra $1100 went.

From the pictures it does not look any different from my CS.



I hope I see one when I visit the dealer. Its probably one of those you have view in person to see the difference.

But hey, congrats on the new purchase!

Zaino is kinda wasted on silver, if you ask me. I just use Blackfire and I'm happy as heck.

Anyway, it really does look just a BIT lighter in hue than CS. I can't see (yet) what makes it so expensive, except that its a special order and low in the production numbers. Its rare, but it doesn't seem special beyond the exclusivity (mostly in name, it seems so far).

I hope that it really IS more special than just a slightly lighter CS...

The difference is subtle, but its noticable... (after some comparison) its a little bright for me... but it looks real clean... kinda like the toyota celica (circa '95ish) silver they had

haria05161 don't mind these guys, you've got a great car in a nice color! The reason everyone here keeps complaining is that we really can't see why there is an $1100 premium for this color. Now I haven't seen it in person, but judging from the numerous pictures I've seen, it doesn't look like it should cost $1100 more.

On top of that, instead of seeing a 3rd silver color, many of us would have liked to have something else, a darker blue, maybe yellow, or maybe keep the brickyard instead, etc.

Congrats on your purchase!

From what I heard Liquid Aluminum will be available later in the year. On the pictures it doesn't look any different then Selski12's Z. Can't wait for better pictures.
