Default help me choose color for my Z

I need help deciding on a color for a 350z.

I changed out from: over to:

I dont like the car black with gold wheels. I am shopping around body shops right now and I need to pick a color.

The first option is Dodge Viper Pearl Grey:


Option 2: Some kind of "candy" or whatever burgendy, open to suggestions on which one... but sort of like:


What color would you rather see the car in? I think the burgandy might look NICER, but the gray would look more racey and maybe I wouldnt care quite as much when it gets beat up by rocks and scratched up.

BTW this is the car in question:

This is the problem with modding a Z. Sometimes you get the car looking real good, then try to do just a little more and.....bang...just like that you've ruined a good thing. Your Z looks fantastic. Why would you want to change the color??? BTW I love your hood!! If I were you I would keep it the same and sav for the next gen Z!!! Just my

this year is the last round for this car. I have a few more things to do and another 100hp to make this year then I am just done with this money pit... ill just maintain it and save up a year or two and get something new.

as for keeping it black... thats out of the question. i hate having a black car and never want another one again. I said that with my last black car, but ended up with yet another. black sucks to own! nice to look at, horrible to try and keep looking good, especially when you beat on your car. if you have a black car that still looks nice, your car is going to waste!

The colors you've chosen are nice but the problem is you have gold wheels. I don't think those colors would match nicely with your wheels. Gold wheels usually match well with blue, black, or white. Now if you had a polished lip to go with that gold wheel, you can even pull off a gold paint job similar to the Top Secret cars but since your wheel is all gold, it would look overkill on gold. I'm diggin the candy burgandy color but I'd change my wheels or at least the color with that paint job. If you do decide to keep the gold wheels, another option is a candy dark blue which I've seen on some Silvias. Pearl White is a good idea as well & fairly easy to keep clean. Good luck!
