Default 40th Anniversary 40th Graphite versus Platinum Graphite

My local Nissan dealer just received a 40th Anniversary 370Z. Naturally I had to go check it out. I really like the 40th Graphite color. Here are some shots of it with my Platinum Graphite 370Z. It's interesting how both cars look different depending on the lighting.












The 40th Anniversary




And One of My PG too.

Looks pretty nice. Not worth the price tag, imo, but nice nontheless.

My local dealer also has one. I stopped by to take a look at it. Then I saw the price tag and left.

I personally like your 370 color a lot better. The new color seems like it has too much brown/red in it for my taste but that may be the Camera.

Thanks! Yes the 40th Graphite looks different depending on the lighting. It looks gray in the shade, but in the sun it has a brownish/purpleish hue depending on the angle you look at it from.

It's a really nice looking car, and the wheel color is bad ***. It's not worth $40g over getting one like yours and customizing it with wheels though, IMO.

That PG looks really nice on the 370z. By the way I like your front lip, gives it more of an aggressive look

I think if the 40th had black wheels and dark tinted windows it would look 100x better

IMO the Stock 370z looks better than that modded Volk 370 Z....
