I didn't particularly care for the look of the aluminum alloy wheels with the UY color. I think a darker rim would be better, but that's just me.
I have dark rims myself.

Yuck it just doesn't work for me. Even all of the guys with custom painted yellow Z's make me cringe.

haha, i saw this pic and knew instantly where it was. I was just at steven's creek all day yesterday looking at their 04 blue base model. I'm seriously thinking of buying it and saw the yellow one too. My dad wants me to get the yellow one but the blue looks so much better. good pic but it shines so much better in the sunshine.

Agreed, this yellow is so much better in real life. But it doesn't look so great after dusk, is what I'm concerned about.

That turn you took to get on the on ramp, my neighbor is the one who bent up that pedestrian rail by the lamp post, it ripped off half the front suspension.

Default While not a Z...

... it's a close enough weird sighting nonetheless...

Silverstone-colored G35 with side vents behind the doors, entering 880S from High St. ~4:55pm

Didn't really dig that look... perhaps if it had an aggressive kit and wing, rims, etc.

FYI I ended up with an SB Entusianst from Concord (VPP discount) two days later.

No, I think that one is mine, I'll be by to pick up the car and the keys tonight

I saw nothing on the roads this weekend except a G35 blast by me at probably over 100. I felt like I was standing still.
