The last photo should lay to rest just how nice the paint is, metal flake really stands out. It looks like a custom paint job. Congratulations Nissan!

I am assuming thats a cover on top of the top, correct?

Is the white top going to be the only option, black, blue, wait not blue.

Also, is it an additional $500 for the Yellow?

Going to the dealer tomorrow, hmmmmm............................

Yes, the white is a protective covering. A white top is not an option on any Z. In the US only the black top is offered on the ultra yellow. In Japan you can get a black or a blue top on the yellow. $500 is for the yellow. You could probably negotiate for lower price though.

I think it has potential with some rims

Plus it doesn't have license plate holes in the bumper yet

Looks good

ok im sure the yellow looks better in person, but all i said the yellow looks like a taxi yellow from the PICTURE. however, the last comment you made i feel it was uncallled for. im sure the 100's of SB owners on the forum would disagree with your comment above.

and also, do you guys have a lot of Nissan dealers in Guam?

Looks like the metallic/flake thats in the Pikes/Glacier Pearl.

MonteZ, you are correct, it looks exactly like the flake in the white Z. There were two 2005 Roadsters on the lot, one ultra yellow and one white. No coupes, only roadsters. Some people will love the yellow, some people will like it and some people won't like it at all. If everyone had the same tastes then all cars would be painted the same color and how boring would that be. Personally I don't like black cars. Of the 25 cars I have owned in my lifetime only one was black (a 1990 240SX). Don't get me wrong, black looks great but it is very difficult to keep clean unless you have an enclosed garage. Homes on Guam don't have enclosed garages, only carports. As far as dealers on Guam is concerned, there are no dealers per se but there is a factory owned dealership. The company that I work for buys 2 Infinitis and 2 Nissans from them every year. I agree yellow is a tricky color to get right. You don't want it to look like pee yellow, or taxi yellow or banana yellow. The interesting thing about the Ultra Yellow is that the more times you see it, the more you like it. If you don't want to attract attention then don't buy the ultra yellow. The metal flake is designed to reflect light in order to make the paint brighter and not flat looking. And it does it very well. No offense to anybody's color preference. Variety is the spice of life.

Just curious, what is the MSRP for a Z on Guam. Is there much of a mark-up? Sorry if this is too personal, but what are you going to pay for your Z?

Also, is there any roads on Guam that allow you to really up it up? (i.e. high speed runs??)

Guam has a drag strip, race track and thanks to Uncle Sam, nice 5 lane roads. Dirt track and autocross racing is popular here. There is even a 1000 horsepower skyline. The emisson laws here are not like in the continental US. Plenty of fresh air and sunshine. No need for emission checks on vehicles. There is no sales tax or property taxes on vehicles. Prices are on par with the US.

The yellow looks a lot better on the Z than I thought it would! Can't wait to see one in person.
