Default Which color combination?

So after 7 years I've decided to change the color (with foil) of my Z

Should I go Panda style or complete white?

Original:



1. (sorry for the bad pic)




2.

Color is a matter of preferance.The car to me looks GREAT as is--black.
However,I know some owners just get tired of a color no matter how good it looks.
If these are your choices,I'd go all white.IMO,the Z like many other cars,looks its best in specific colors.Those colors just go with the design.My car is Silverstone.Had it
for 10 years.I never tire of the color!If I had to change it would be to a darker shade of gray.
Man,I'd keep the black!!

Thanks for your opinion

It is just my preference but I like your car in black. I would not change it to either of your two options, just because they seem to stock and plain for me. If you were going to completely change the color of your car I think a brighter or more unique color would be a better option.

If you want something different(white sure has been used),I'd do a dark green.
The Z has never been offered in this color.By dark green I mean a TRUE BRG(British
racing green).The original BRG is almost black.No metallic.It could be updated to
include a metallic.Also the original cars had gray interiors.
Its just my opinion but I just hate to see a car with such grat lines as a Z
buried in a "boutique" color.For example,when first introduced,LeMans Sunset
was used at car shows as a kick off color for the Z.Some people loved the color,
still do.Long term,its awful.You don't see many of the supercars in these hot colors
(except Lamborghini).Hot colors just hide the design.Its like putting ketchup on
a prime steak!

If you're planning on changing the color, go with all white. The car looks good as is though.
