Anyone else regret the color of their Z

Tazicon · 03-20-2013, 04:05 PM

I am glad I got Gum Metal on my Z. It has proven to be a good color.

Love the gun metal. The midnight blue is really sweet as well.

I'd personally also put the silver in my top 2 Z colors, but my current car for the last 10 years has been silver. I'm ready for something new.

i love silver, it seems like it never gets dirty lol.

Silver is too common in Phoenix. It's considered a Sun City color... Sun City is basically our "reservation" where we keep the old folks.

Yeah, I admit I love it on my current car. Looks less often dirty and the one ding I have is hard to spot. It's like chicks who wear black yoga pants. Nice at first glance, but you still won't see much with extra staring.

But they do look good when they're detailed. Usually for about 5 minutes.

Now that I made my own spin-off of this thread, I'll answer THIS thread

In a word "no"
When first buying my 370, I didn't care the color, just wanted a good deal. (No red though)
I love the sleekness of black cars, just hate the scratches and dust (I JUST FOUND OUT IT WAS METALLIC!!! Lol), and I'm glad I didn't get PW because I've never seen a bumper that was painted within a few shades...

I think the 40th is THE BEST color combo, then Gunmetal because it's so similar.
But I do think my Monterey Blue is a GREAT color, it fits a sports car (in Dallas everyone and their mother had one while in CA, no one seems to have one

)

I think the new MBlue, Midnight Blue, especially with the new rays is it's own masterpiece, it has color, but it's a bit more... "Police friendly" LOL!!!
(Red brake calipers clash though)

I love my black Z, however to truly make a masterpiece of most bodykits/exterior accessories it's extremely hard to show bodylines when everything is black. For that reason only I wish my car was another color.

Although I could always paint the body kit another color, I don't want my exterior mods to look gaudy or intentional, if that makes sense.

I only own cars in one color.....

I don't think they do. I'd only have them in red or yellow. Black would be too blah, and blue would really look silly with the shade of blue that the car is.

Black calipers blah??? While I agree that red and yellow look nice on SOME cars. How is black blah? I think for those who have gone with the black and white them or the all black theme. Black calipers make a stronger effect than say killing the whole stream with some bright azz intrusive colors.

Haboob · 03-25-2013, 09:11 AM

I guess it's just me then. There are always exceptions, no doubt, but I wouldn't have my calipers any other color than what they are now, or yellow, on my car.

Agree i think black is the best color for calipers plus they don't look nearly as bad dirty. My second favorite is the burnt orange of OEM brembos on the z33. Personally I think yellow calipers are tacky unless its a lambo. Red is ok on some cars but I've never been really partial to that color. I think Nissan shouldve kept the black or made it silver like the Akebonos on Infiniti.
