Yeah, I do. I wish I stuck to my original idea of getting Monterey Blue. Never even got a chance to see it in person at all, and I wrote it off as a bit too baby blue for me. Wasnt until I saw it in person that I loved it.

Besides, black is a bitch to keep clean.

That's what I was hoping to avoid, yet still battling between Gun Metallic and Blue.

I love Gun Metallic, but I hate the fact that every single damn car out there is either Grey, black, or white.

Hate to say, but look at the color options Nissan has stuck us with...4 shades of grey (5, if you count Black Cherry...), Red, and Blue.

Horray.

They aint no BMW, thats for sure.

mikeSS 04-22-2011 02:24 AM

i was going to get a grey or white Z. but that 40th edition one takes the cake.

BLAZZIN 04-22-2011 02:38 AM

I am still waiting to buy but already know i want the Monterey Blue, kinda reminds me of Yamaha blue witch i have had a love affair with most of my life started when i was about 10yrs old riding yz80's than up to yz125's ,R6's, R1's i have always got the blue, my friends even nicknamed me blue.....lol

Boost_lee 04-22-2011 04:05 AM

I was skeptical until I had the car shipped to me. Happy with my decision. :D

Sometimes I regret it, I like Chicane yellow, Black Cherry, and 40th quartz just as much. But after walking out to my current MRBlue after a fresh wash, I fall back in love each time :)

houkouonchi 04-22-2011 05:05 AM

Not taking a tally or anything but so far most of the people who regreted on their color choice wish they got MB?

Yup I knew MB was the best color :p

Same could be said with chicane yellow. It's like one of those colors where you're pretty damn doubtful at first on pictures and samples and then get blown away when seen in person. Though if more people are buying blue z...then easier choice for me on gun metallic. ;-)

Hehe

bflosabre91 04-22-2011 08:08 AM

i wouldn't say regret but i do still wish i had that MB. that was my first choice but it was too hard to get here. i also would prefer the 40th but i think that would be even tougher to find. looking back i prob should have waited longer to get one cause the weather has been so shitty im still on the original tank of gas after over a month of owning.

Waiting a little longer Hm I waited 3 hrs to get mine and it felt like I was gonna burst lol. I don't know if I was able to wait more
Then 1 day.

UNKNOWN_370 04-22-2011 10:25 AM

I wanted blue or yellow but they didn't have any. So I went with the color with the best deal on it. Brilliant silver. Though I generally really hate silver cars. I must admit nissan and porsche are 2 car companies that make silver look good. The upside to the silver is it shows off the Z bodylines like no other color. But blue is one for me. Yellow is 2. I will most likely custom paint my car anyway at some point. So color isn't really a major issue. My car was purchased for custom car purposes. I will be doing interior exterior and engine mods slowly over the course of some years.

USMCASA 04-22-2011 10:55 AM

i got the one i wanted, still love it

Red__Zed 04-22-2011 11:08 AM

Only when I want to run green wheels.

Kirkster 04-22-2011 11:10 AM

Wanted CY settled for BC. Would trade for CY in a heartbeat in a Roadster....

BC looks very nice when its clean, for those brief 5 minutes...

They didn't offer a roadster in '09, which is the only year they made CY, so good luck :icon17:

gr8-wrx 04-22-2011 12:40 PM

No regrets here. I really like silver! My truck is silver, too! :)

Armonster 04-22-2011 12:43 PM

No regrets, but that's probably because I have covered parking at home and at work. Otherwise I would never get a black car.

But I think a clean black car is about as good as it gets.

Monterey Blue is a great color for the Z.

Mt Tam I am 04-22-2011 02:18 PM

No regrets. CY & Red are the best sports car colors, only I believe they attract police attention. So that left the 40th, PG, or BS for me. I went with the best deal. No tickets after nearly a year.

Slade 04-22-2011 03:26 PM

Nope, no regrets from me. When I saw the monterey blue in person I knew that was the color I wanted.

I wanted a color that would pop from other vehicles on the road and still show off the lines of the Z, so the blue was the way to go.

FromG2Z 04-22-2011 10:00 PM

Sorry... had black cars in the past. Pearl white, FTW.

DangerDanJD 04-22-2011 10:04 PM

No regrets. Love the PG.

karotZ 04-22-2011 10:11 PM

I wish I got either a red or yellow Z. If I choose to paint it, its either those or I'll go for metallic purple or lime.

ZInferno0248 04-22-2011 10:46 PM

Brilliant silver... No regrets. Really shows the car off and always looks clean. The Z is such a unique car, it looks sweet in all the colors.

What are the complaints? Red my was my first choice but got a good deal on this pearl white. Its grown on me a lot, I didn't know how great it would look in any light! But what are the red complaints so i feel better about not getting red?

This is a very good point. Is it just me or is it VERY hard to notice orange peel on pearl white??? Either we really don't have any or those flakes help hide them :happydance:

The paint on mine (40th Quartz) is as smooth as glass. It likes to chip though.

Mine has none.

geosZ 04-23-2011 11:58 AM

I love my mb roadster but for this summer I think I'm going to wrap it c yellow. There is this guy in li that does good work. Best thing about the wrap is it looks good and it protects your paint and you can just peel of and have your color back. :) I can't wait for Monday to go meet with him for more details

98intrigue 04-23-2011 05:48 PM

I hate my color choice

My PW as them you just have to be looking for it to see it

fncrow 04-23-2011 06:41 PM

White
Black
Red

Were my three colors of choice. I really wanted the white the most but ended up with a red as it was the only one in FL that had all the options i wanted. Overall im happy with it. Though i do wish it was a bit of a darker deeper red

sonic370 04-23-2011 07:40 PM

at first i just wanted a 370 so bad it could have been painted in primer...........
there was one left on the lot an 09 and it just happened to be a
MB. At first i thought a little sissy how wrong i was. the MB grabs consistence
attention...

USMCASA 04-23-2011 08:35 PM

CY grabs your eye even if you aren't trying to look at it. Its by far the best color and I like how no one in my area has it but me.
