New 370z - which color?

Dark Sarcasm · 04-24-2012, 03:00 PM

are you planning cosmetic mods in the future? I think white looks better with black wheels and gun metallic looks better with shiny or silver wheels. IMO! My wife drives a white G and I have a Gun Metallic Z, and the gun metallic is much easier to take care of and stays cleaner looking longer. Unfortunately I bought my Z b/c of its exclusivity and price, but now almost every other Z i see is either PG or GM. Its a hard choice. I totally agree that black looks the best but only when it is maintained, otherwise it looks dirty or abused.

I have PG. love it, but wouldn't mind having it be white or 40th gray, just to stand out a bit.

Oh agree with this. Think about what you want to do in the future to the car too. (black out fangs/diffuser and whatnot)

So this platinum graphite Z. Is this an 09 or 10? Cuz there hasn't been platinum since then. Anything above that is gun metallic.

I have gun metallic and love it. But the hottest Z is monterey blue. Here in dfw, the most common ones are black, white, red and black cherry.

If you are getting a new one, then I assume you mean Gunmetallic which is what I have and looks great. Pearl White is a close second because of the contrast and pop you get form adding black bits like the roof wrap.

Yeah, sorry I meant the Gunmetal!

I'm partial to black because its what I have but my second choice would have been the pearl white. So clean and classy.

Pearl White, really looks good when clean and that pearl affect it gets in different lighting conditions is unbeatable.
