@FromG2Z i went back and forth too between black and BC. i drove past a BC 370z for like 3 months everyday on my way to work and i fell in love w it before i got close to it, and it was winter. So i think i had it in my mind that it was more black than cherry and the cherry is just a little extra uniqueness which is what i wanted cause the blue wasn't available anywhere around here anytime soon. But now actually being up close to it more, the cherry sticks out much more than i thought it would from the beginning. ill prob just see what my wife says tonight, deal with her call me an idiot for 10 mins or so and then be done with it and enjoy it.

I do like that kit on the BC 370, but i def dont have the know how to do stuff like that and i probably would rather upgrade the sound first :D

subtle accents really help the appearance of these cars as well...you can throw some carbon fiber on it, tint it, powder the rims....possibilities are endless...the color will grow on you.

Someone else already mentioned it but you can get It wrapped in vinyl for around $2k I think. This would allow you you to get any color you want. If money was no problem for me, I would get the amuse kit and wrap it in a flat black/gray vinyl to give it a kind of batmobile look.

Yup was definitely thinking of the Reventon look. One of the best looking cars ever IMO. I don't want to do anything too permanent to my car like a body kit. Otherwise I would have done the amuse w/ Reventon gray wrap. If you can do it that would be awesome, I would definitely have to come check it out in person :tup:

Also, I have only seen one female Black Cherry owner. The rest of us are dudes.

Shado... don't get me wrong, I like the BC color. But in the end, it's all personal taste and preference. I just happen to like white and black more :) Also, my wife's opinion also takes precedence... haha.

Like you said, you've only owned it for 4 days, so maybe you're just getting used to it. I've never owned a white car, more so a pearl white color... so I am still getting used to her. I especially enjoy the fact that I can drive her for more than a week's worth of dust layers, and not notice a significant degradation in gloss or shine. It still "glows" in the sun. I couldn't say the same thing for my other black cars... I'd get her all detailed, then go for a drive and once back, the layer of dust is already visually apparent... then I'd have to worry about additional swirls induced from dusting or QD'ing... arggg. Anyways, I think I am falling in love with the pearl white color more and more everyday :) You might feel the same way for your BC. Give it a chance!

After a couple of days driving in different lighting conditions, you will start to see that you bought a car with several different colours in it. At night, it is black for all intents and purposes and in the day it is more cherry. Twilight and it glows a warm brown/burgundy.
A blue car will always look blue or dirty blue....

(no offense Tony...!)

I think it's an either love it or hate it color.

Unless you hate it, learn to love it -- you've got a brand new Z. Enjoy it.

The first 370 I actually saw in person on a dealer lot was the black cherry color. It was the only one they had and I was unimpressed. At another dealer I saw blue and silver and both were amazing compared to the BC. When the sun was out the blue was omg. I ended up with silver though. Just my opinion anyways... For the age/color discussion, I was 35 when I bought my Z.

I went to the Twin Cities Auto Show this past Wednesday and saw a black cherry 370Z at the Nissan floor and it was beautiful.
Now the lighting on their show floor was slightly dim so the black cherry 370Z color was really not as striking in low light. Anyway, I was too busy looking at the car to be impacted by the color. :p

Besides the color stereotype, black cherry does look kind of maroon which I have come to dislike.
Story: I had driven a maroon '92 Camry jalopy for a couple of years and when I was finally able to get rid of it, I was forced to give into a maroon '04 Sienna because the person who I was going to share the vehicle with didn't like grey or tan, they didn't even like black or white, talk about being a partypooper.
We originally wanted blue, but the dealer didn't have that color.
Not getting the color you want still irks me to this day which is why I was going to get it "right" this time when I get my own car.

its really a love it or hate it color. very unique. I love it. reminds of midnight purple on skylines. love midnight purple as well.

sonic370 03-18-2011 08:22 PM

to late now learn to love the car for what it is. hot and sexy.....

but from what i could tell a new set of wheels would help in a big way....

aren't those stock 18's on there know?????????????

Lemers 03-18-2011 09:11 PM

I love the color myself. There is a reason to dislike every color on a Z. Here's mine:

White = delivery vehicle
Red/black = cliche on a sports car
Gray/silver/graphite = too common (every other Z has one of these similar colors)
Yellow/blue = look like Pokemon on the Z

You got the blackcherry for a reason. Maybe it spoke to you more than any other color. Be happy with what you got a quit second guessing yourself.
