Default please help me pick out a color!

Cant decide which color Z i want. From looking at pictures, i love how the z looks in silver alloy,carbon silver or white.

From some of the post i have read, people have said to stay away from silverstone and carbon silver because it's hard to match the paint and others said it has a hint of green or brown and looks dirty.

Anybody regret getting any of those colors?
Pros and Cons of each color?

I just don't want to regret getting the wrong color.

Should I get silver, carbon silver or white?

Thanks in advance.

Get the one that appeals to you the most? Not really sure what to say. Some colours like DB and Black show more dirt, but really it's down to personal taste.

Default Carbon Silver is quite nice...

...it highlights all the body shape details.

I recently removed the rear wiper blade an matched the color perfectly for the plug to cover the hole.

With the computerized methods good body shops now have to match colors, I wouldn't worry about that.

Should I get silver, carbon silver or white?
When I was looking for a used Z, the two colors that I didn't want were Silver and Black. Black because I was tired of trying to maintain a black car and Silver because I is just so common.

I found a great deal on a Silver Z, so I bought it. The color has really grown on me. It hides dirt really well, much better than any other color, and since I DD my Z, that is important. It doesn't soak up heat when it is sunny. I've also just gotten to like the color. The Silver doesn't have a green cast to it.

One disadvantage is that with the gray rainy PNW days we have around here, silver is not the most visible color. It is important to drive with the headlights on and, like a bike, assume other cars don't see you. Another disadvantage (theoretical) is that the silver is much more reflective than black, red or blue. This means that the body of the car will more likely give a good radar signal for the State Patrol. With a silver car, they really don't need to hit the front license plate or headlights to get a reading.

But, get the color that you like the best. Asking for aesthetic opinions from strangers will just get you flamed.
