don't let lidar/radar be an "interesting" decision maker for you...thats a myth because my lidar and radar detect the black/white/silver/etc... all the same, and don't think the covered license plate covers refract the lidar/radar beam because by the time your detector gives you an indicator its too late.

my opinion is black (superblack), i've never gotten a ticket in mine.

My first two vehicles were black. Black is beautifulbut you will regret it when your washing it twice a week. Every dust particle, water spot, and door ding will drive you nuts. You will wash the car, dry it and think your finished until you drive. Then the water will run from the cracks and leave water spots everywhere. An hour later it will be covered in pollen. You will be telling your friends not to leave hand prints on it. If you're **** about your car looking dirty like I am, stay away from black.

Definitely black.

Deliberated with this question myself for a while...

Black or White 350Z?-dsc_0387-copy.jpg

Black or White 350Z?-dsc_0389-copy2.jpg

Yep - it's harder to keep clean - but that's half the fun...

I had a PPW before but own a black now.....if I had to do it over I will go with BLACK.

I don't mind washing my car once a week and wax once a month and black is more rewarding than white. Both are great colors GL choosing.

I have black car... I regret it. I'm tired of cleaning it. Got a new car... white. Very nice color. And less problems. I like black when it's clean but you gotta stay on top of it....

white since it doesnt show scratches as much, swirls from waxing, paint last longer, cars curves show better, and the car stays cooler on the interior.

You cant go by pictures either since that is dependant on photo quality.

I own a '06 PPW, and personally I was never ever a fan of white cars until I saw this one. I clean it once a week and it looks just as shiny as any other color, and it remains nice looking all week long. At the end of the day its your call though!! Good Luck!
