Yes, but it all depends on the lighting. It also shows up in photos, again, depending on the lighting...

I notice it all the time. So much so that I got rid of everything red in my car and switched the accent color to purple.

But, for me during the ownership of a little bit over 3 years, the color kind of bored me and that's when the mod bug bit me. What did I do on mine? LOL I virtually violated everything that made it the 40th edition. Swapped out the body kit, changed wheels numerous times, sold the red seats

, changed the steering wheel and more to mention ending up ricey lol. Now I'm undecided if I wanna sell it for a solid red sport touring or nismo or go with a nismo body kit this time on the 40th.

LOL...If I was going to do that I'd have bought a regular Z with Nav!!

I'm really more of a vette guy, but my wife didn't like my vette. So when we got a new sport car I wanted it to be something we both really liked. The Z was the car! I'm like you and would mod EVERYTHING. But she keeps me in check. She loves the very essence of the 40th. So everytime I start tearing something apart I get a tap on the shoulder to make sure the 40ths characteristics aren't changed, or easily put back to original. So a lot of my mods will be stuff I can easily put back or functional, but non- noticeable, like my ipad mini magnetically mounted in the cubby mod.

Any problems with the red alcantara fading from sunlight and/or wear from elbow?

No not at all as a matter a fact alcantara is AMAZING!!!! there is a cleaning process that they have somwhere on here using woolllight i have do it before and no matter how bad it may be just rub at it for a little bit at it will loook the way it did when you drove it off the lot.

Don't notice the purple....but I'm color blind. LOL

Loving my 40th...the purple hue in certain light is great.

If you ever see pics of Nitrouz's Z, his photo's capture it the best.

The Alcantara on the drivers door does get dirty from elbow/knee but if you clean it often, its great and doesn't seem to fade. I usually just use water but there is something with woolite as mentioned (or my detailer guy cleans it well for me)

I was going to say if you want the Nav try to find a Canadian 40th but we only got 120 so even more scarce

Also if staying stock for awhile I find the fact that the wheels are close to the 40th color lets you not feel rushed to buy aftermarket wheels like with some other colors.

equalme · 11-14-2013, 12:10 PM

Awesome. I do love the wheel design and color that comes with the 40th.

equalme · 11-16-2013, 01:32 AM

Just took home my 40th a few hours ago...I can't stop looking at her! Paid $12 for a one-way ticket on the Megabus from Houston to Austin and drove the beauty back!

The paint is just absolutely awesome. Looks 100x better in person.

I would be dead-set on the 40th but navigation was not available (IMO the navigation adds a nice touch of luxury to the interior which I love; also backup camera on the 2011 models)

The pearl white I would be looking to get with the persimmon interior.

Anybody get tired of the quartz color?

-_- Such a tough decision...

I loved my 40th until a psychopathic maniac decided I should not own it anymore.

Beware of anyone selling my 40th -- Build number 244. I got hit hard by a pickup truck -- the estimate was $28,000 and the car was a total loss.

Here is why:

I do love the 40th paint color and seats. I think the wheels should've been the gunmetal Nismo ones; that would've been pretty sexy. In the end, I passed over it because the nav was a must have for me. I didn't like the way the interior looked with the cubby. If the US 40th had nav, I would've been sold.
