Anyone else regret the color of their Z

Went from a Black 350z to the pearl white 370z. I do miss the aggressive nature of a black car, but the white car is much more classy and doesn't

No regrets picking my color but I did slightly rage when they released the dark blue for 2013.

I have red and it's a pain to keep clean. Would go with pw/gm/blue if I could do it over.

It's nice to stand out tho. The solid red really needs a bit of sparkle.

I like them both.

Probably would have gotten a '12 Monterrey Blue if I could have found one (new), but I did kind of fall for the '13 rims.

Wonder what they'd look like with the Monterrey Blue...

I got brilliant silver and at first I wasn't sure I made the right choice. But it really is my favorite color Z. What I didn't know when I bought it was that silver stays clean FOREVER lol I can literally wash it once a month if I need to and it'll still look clean. I usually wash it every 2 weeks but the winter makes that difficult sometimes.

Also, I had a yellow 350z before getting the 370z and the silver Z blends in with other traffic MUCH better. You don't have to worry about a cop easily seeing you in a crowd but it still turns heads when it's alone on the road. The best I've seen the brilliant silver look is in a store parking lot at night under the overhead lights. It really is impressive the most at night for sure. If I had a 2nd choice I'd probably cave and get yellow again but after having a yellow mustang for 12 years and then a yellow 350z for 2 years I was a bit burned out on yellow.

Love my gm. Pw is my least favorite color. It seems to be the most popular around here though. Any specific reason why people love pw so much?

Uh, I am a big fan of vanilla ice cream. Maybe that's my reason?

When I was searching for a Z, Red was the last color I had in mind. During email communication with a dealer, I found a Red one for a great price. I thought, what the heck, the deal is good, let's just go check it out and go for a test drive. As soon as I saw the car on the lot, I was like "WOW!" As of now, I do not regret it at all. I am glad I decided to check it out in person before ditching it.

I love this color even more right after a good car wash.

Just ran into a Z on the street . Older guy pretty chill he rolls down his window and I tell him I liked the color of his Z. And he said any color looks good on this car lol.
Anyways I wanted gun metal ...but wasn't dark enough for me . Then I really wanted pearl white but I always had doubts .
Ended up with magnetic black . While it is hard to keep clean, I've learned to enjoy washing and waxing it weekly. It's always looking good
I don't regret getting black . It's so sexy especially in gloomy weather .

I had a choice between black, dark blue, and pearl white. I thought the pearl white showed the lines of the Z better than the dark colors. No regrets.
