White on black? Black on black? Help on deciding a couple things.

I really like the look of a black 370Z but I must say this car really looks good in white as well.

I'm guessing that any protective film that goes on the white will not show edges as easy as it does on black. Another consideration is if you are planning to get any carbon fiber parts and how that will offset against the color of the car.

I powder coated my second set of sport wheels white (for track use) and have yet to get a picture of them on the car, but ....the white wheels look great with the black car imho.

What do you mean about the carbon fiber parts?

A lot of people that I have talked to have said white on black so I am leaning towards that picture I posted right above.

If you were considering (not that you were, but just a thought) adding carbon fiber parts such as mirror covers, hood, front end grill/bumper etc that may influence your thoughts due to how the CF will contrast with different colors.

By ^ sounds like white is your color choice. White does look very good
