I am lazy when it comes to cleaning my car, and have never owned black before. It sucks because my car always looks dirty even tho I wash weekly. In retrospect I probably have gone another colour.

^^ This 100%!

Spend 8 hours to Wash/wax... looks great.

6 hours later... Needs it done all over again.

I saw a black one on the street twice and once at the dealer but the car was sold already. I own white pearl MS3 and its a beautiful color and Im sure nismo looks great in white. At first I wanted a white one just because its easier to maintain but then I saw black on black NISMO370's car on the highway cruising by and thought it looked spectacular. I only tried to avoid the black because it is a bitch to take care of. I work for Lexus dealer and I see black cars all the time and I know how awful they can look if not taken care of properly. I actually called my dealer yesterday and told them that if they cant get black one just go ahead and get white one instead. One hour later I called back and said to forget about the white and just get me black nismo only, nothing else!
It would be awesome to get the car ASAP but Im not in the rush to buy the car whatsoever. I rather wait and get what I really want. I never had a black car but Im in the car business, I love cars, love to mod and take care of them so Im ready to take the challenge and get black nismo

Heres what Ive been driving for the past few years. It doesnt look like that anymore because I parted out already. Its a quick and fun car to drive but it is a time for upgrade. Hopefully Ill get one soon.

Me personally, I would rather wait and get exactly what I want and have no regrets/compromises vs. immediate gratification.

Fixed

OP I'm a sucker for white cars as that color perfectly shows all the curves on any car IMO. White looks great when washed/waxed and simply pops to the eye. Black looks great and aggressive when tastefully done but requires more work to be kept clean. Once you go white, you never go ... (I'll stop right there

White. Hands down. I have black and I love it. But I know a guy who has a 2011 White Nismo and I can't stop staring. The pearlescent white is so awesome.

White can do many thing , black out the roof etc..

When I had a black g35 coupe, I always envy people has white g35 coupe. People can never realize I had carbon fiber rear diffuser, mirror cover and air ducts from far view or drive by. Black looks badass I really like it. But it hides all the details. While white ones show all the curves of the car. I will vote for the white as myself got a white nismo too. But it's just my 2 cents...

Black. If you love it, as you should, then wax it.

blacknismoZ · 11-21-2011, 10:00 AM

Ni55anPat · 11-21-2011, 03:54 PM

White looks really nice. The day before I picked my Z up I pulled up next to a white nismo and it looked great! Made me think hard about my color choice.
