Its one of those colors that you either love or hate. My second choice was gona be white, and these "black" upgrades would look nice on a white Z

I don't like the orange/black two tone look. two tone is a terrible look for a lot of colors. the interior isn't helping either.

also you need some light spacers to get the proper stance.

I disagree. No spacers necessary. In fact, I'd vehemently advise against spacers; you'll likely end up with fender interference.

I think the word "terrible" is something you use on a ricer, i wouldnt call this a terrible job. To be honest this concept isnt to impress man, and NO girl has ever said your car is terrible so its a win-win for me.

Ya maybe its not your "color", but def I dont think my car looks "terrible". Do you have any pics of your ride, I assume it doesnt look as terrible as mine?

if you think terrible should only be used for ricers, than no, your car is not terrible.

could it better? yes, and that is all I was getting at.

and for the pic you posted, sorry but the GTR is a different color (you have more pale pearl sparkles, less creamy depth) and the scheme is better executed. the front grill section, lower lip, full black lower edge of the side skirt and more detailed and interesting shape of the GTR colludes to produce a better result. add to that your mirror covers and un-optimized stance (offset choice and tire stretch and ride height) making your car look more upright and weak, and you can see why I feel the comparison is tangential at best.

maybe it was the interior's color throwing me off. and maybe I think roadster Zs are basically hideous.

you want to see my transportation? here:

Actually, it is the same color and it's called "orange", I think you mean its a different "shade" of orange and the colors dont differ by much. My Z looks just like that when no "sun or light" is shining on it (like in a garage).

I wasnt arguing about better kit or better orange color, you stated "I don't like the orange/black two tone look. two tone is a terrible look for a lot of colors." So i showed you an orange and black tone and now u like it cause its a GTR so orange and black now of a sudden looks "great".

Oh by the way, your Bike is two toned ;-)

GTR in light, has pearl and sparkles...

Put my car on a photographers set of lights and professional digital cameras and i beat the colors will be very similar.

And im not comparing my car to a GTR, cause its not in the same class but the orange/black tone is very nice.

Bud, i get it you hate my car and thats fine no need to argue about it.

and see, that second pic with the different wheels changes the car. now it looks like crap because the tires are stretched, and the rim design just doesn't fit the shape.

I don't like a car simply because it 'is XXX car'. There are plenty of GTRs and Ferraris that I think look like absolute hell. Novatec F430 in white and black comes to mind.


or


'omg it's a Ferrari so I must like it', right?

no.

you just happened to pick a well executed GTR. The orange color is different, more of a Lamborghini pearl orange than the 350's stock color. it's not a gigantic change but makes a huge difference over all, it simply lacks the depth of color the GTR has to work with the bumble bee paint scheme. we are talking about pictures here so I could be wrong, but I've seen and driven the Z in your specific color and am saying I do not see the similarity.

Not to mention your attempt to break my point by claiming a importance in semantics between using shade and color is ridiculous by the way. Or that a stated opinion holds me to dislike every two tone implementation I see, when that simply is not the case. My bike is case in point. I happen to like red/black two tone usually.

Don't be an ***, understand: 'what works on one car doesn't always work on another' and get over your knee jerk reaction to my criticism.
