I ordered a Silverstone w/ BO interior. When my dealer called with a triple black for me to check out...I bought it on the spot. I love it. It is a pain in the a** to keep clean... but it's a labor of love.

I think this thread should be called "If you had to do it all over again AND could not buy the same color you bought the first time, what color would you buy instead?"
I think 95%+ of us felt we picked the best color when we ordered our Z... it's all a matter of personal taste. I love my Brick and can't imagine owning a different color 350Z at this point. The fact that there are so few of them around makes it all the more sweet.
However, after seeing all the colors in person, if I did not have Brickyard as an option, I think I would have gone with either SB or SS with the Orange leather seats. I really underestimated how good the orange seats would make certain colors look and just love the SB with that combo!
If I could have any color on a 350Z (other than BY of course), it would be obnoxious canary yellow... like they put on the Porsche GT3s.

PPW all over again it is, I just love the way it looks like a different color in different lightning conditions. I like it most in the nice sunlight where it just sparkles when clean!

I don't think I'd change. I love my DB Although when I was buying I did consider LMS and PPW. And, if I had seen a BY in person before I bought, I'd probably have considered that too.
So many nice colors to choose from. I say make it 9 instead of 8 and BRING BACK THE BRICK.

Is it really that hard to keep black nice and shiny guys. I know when I see a super shiny black it looks menacing on a Z...Envy but then again Red looks good too. My lemans is not too hard to keep clean but then again I keep her that way.

Sad but true, I completely agree. Whenever people talk about how hard it is to keep a black car clean, there are no exaggerations . Even after a careful car wash (and even using the "no spots" Mr. Clean spray thing!), I can see certain spots and streaks. IMO, my car looks best right about evening or on cloudy/overcast days .
Still though, no regrets. If I HAD to choose another color, maybe I would have chosen Pikes Peak White . Then again, I might be tempted to paint it black anyways .
