I passed on my LeMans Z (ATL)
To all my Atlanta friends and for the others that have followed the LeMans Z decision, well I did finally decide. I passed!
Gwinnett Place Nissan received one just before mine with the same interior and I spend a great deal of time looking and deciding. After pondering it for 4 days, I called and told them they could sell it.
Basically, and as I surmised all along, the color photographs great! But in person, it just doesn't cut it for me. What I will say is it really looks good with the Burnt Orange interior. Actually, that combination is so striking I almost took it!!
So, now the color decision is upon me again. I’m not really looking for input (it has been beaten to death already) but I think, for me, the best looking combination is the Chrome Silver with the 17" wheels.
So that means an Enthusiast model as I do want the 6MT.
If anyone know of one available (one with no orange peel), please drop me an email.
The wait begins again!!!

I know that must have been a tough decision for you Z&Jet man. I hope you find your car and in your color soon. As far as orange peel , I believe the only color will not have it for sure is the Pikes Peak White. I have looked at several and the metal flake in it is gorgeous. Stay away from the Super Black, shows the Peel bad. I should know I have one.
When the Super Black is clean and shiny it reminds me why I bought it. Take your breath away.

Actually I have seen quite a few cars with really nice paint and lots with bad OP! Color only hides it better but a PPW I saw had it bad too.
Here is one that has a great paint job. It's waiting for a new owner in Houston and I took the pic three days ago.
Notice the enlargement of the reflection. I'ts smooth and if it had peel real bad it would be wavy!
I'll find one!

Chet,
I'm sure you will be happier in the long run., although the wait sucks. As for orange peel, my silverstone doesn't have much at all.
See ya at the car show!
