black cause nothing looks better than a clean black sports car.

down side, nothing looks worse than a dirty black sports car.

Default Silverstone

Chose Silverstone because I really wanted a Daytona Blue one but the dealership did not have a Z model that I wanted in that color. Salesman suggested Silverstone and since I wanted to drive out my Z that night I said ok.

Never regretted it. I look at my baby now and know that to me my Silverstone Z looks better to me than any DB Z I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong, DB is a beatiful color, it just isn't my Z's color.

Le Mans.

Silverstone was my second choice, but living in Orange County, I didnt want to be just another Silver Sports Car on the road, and we have a LOT of silver sports cars. Yes, the Z is distinctive, but I also did not think the nice silver trim, like handles and logos complimented the silver so well.

I would have liked Black, but I just dont have the time to was it THAT much, to keep it looking as nice as I like.

All in all I am very happy with the Le Mans, and in the past 3 months I have only seen two in that color. about 75% of the Z's I see in my area are silverstone, with about 10% being white, 10% Blue and the last 5% all the other colors.

Redline.

Wasn't my first choice (wanted a Daytona Blue), but finding 2004 Zs in the trim and color you want here in SoCal is NOT easy unless you're willing to wait 3-4 months to order it. So I picked it off the lot (the only other color they had was Chrome Silver).

The color is really growing on me. Never fails to turn heads, every day I take the car out.

Daytona Blue

Because the color was so striking to me and worked well with the chromed version of the standard rims. Kinda unique, too-- I haven't seen too many bright blue cars generally, and very few DB Zs in particular.

Very easy. When I put money down on a preorder, the only two colors that anybody had ever seen were LMS and CS, of which the CS was really Liquid Silver.

I knew I wouldn't want to live with an "orange" car forever, so I went with silver.

I still like it, but I think if I had the full spectrum of colors to view before I had made my choice, I might have gone with something different.

I think PPW is the sleeper color, DB is great, SS is growing on me.

Redline..

The only two colors that looked great to me were BLACK and RED.

I decided to go with redline because.. I donno. Red always goes good with a sports car IMO

CS, really liked all the colors, but the CS was the only Base model and the one the dealer was ready to deal on.
