Anyone else regret the color of their Z

CBTheNucMan · 03-18-2013, 07:01 PM

I'm happy with my black z but it is a b word to keep clean

Z-Girl 12 · 03-18-2013, 07:01 PM

Yep, black is ridiculously sick clean. A headache to keep clean but i get him detailed once a week, and he usually stays clean for a week. So not bad at all, lowered and shiny is just drool city! No regrets!

I regret my black ridiculously. I am seriously half in tears everytime a white Z passes me. It just looks so freakin beautiful, every curve is visible, instead of a black blob. Particularly how well black wheels and black roof and black wing can look on a white car... God.

I would trade my black for a white anyday.

EDIT: to add to the misery, there is a white Z in my neighborhood modded EXACTLY the way i would have gone about modding a white car.

black blob !?

very true, you really can see every detail, and in the sun, the semi flat look of the pearl really offsets the parts shaded from direct sun giving it a cool mixture of gloss and some-what flat, look. but thats also what i love about black. everything flows so smoothly.. you cant really see much but the reflection of certain areas.

Gun metallic, broke my neck many times

sz34 · 03-18-2013, 07:06 PM

everytime i see a pearl white z i think about wrapping my car lol. platinum graphite is cool and all, but pearl white i think is the best color for the z!

USMCASA · 03-18-2013, 07:07 PM

love my color, every day since i got it. everyone else does too

Have to agree. No regrets.

dP3NGU1N · 03-18-2013, 07:14 PM

No regrets on the color. I still open my garage just to look at it. Then close it and walk away. My only regret? Not having anywhere to drive to!

silentnightz · 03-18-2013, 07:21 PM

I have no regrets in picking my color.

homeryansta · 03-18-2013, 07:22 PM

If I can do it again, it would be blue instead of red.

MarkGideon · 03-18-2013, 07:23 PM

I originally wanted silver, but the only one available new in my price range (base) was gun metallic. No regrets at all.

Z370Z011 · 03-18-2013, 07:29 PM

ahhh yes, gun metallic would've been nice too
