It would be nice as an option...the Black Z

I actually happen to like the look of my Z, Blilliant Silver with stock wheels, door handles. Along with the headlights, all the silver accents make my eyeballs dance. To each his own, we have one of the most beautiful cars made at any price :tup:.

Murdered out looks sweet! All you gotta do now is get the head/tail lights tinted and emblems and your good to go.

Thank you, it was your pics that made me go for the OEM 18's powdercoated black for winter wheels.

I wasn't able to get an exact paint code, but I showed multiple pics to my body shop and they matched what they felt was as close as possible.

No denying the chrome painted handles look really good on the Silver Z, I just felt it really took away from the lines of the MB 370z.

Should have said IMHO. Purely subjective.

In my "humble" opinion, I don't like body color-matched door handles. They are trim items and should be different from the body color. Now, I'll probably get flamed for this but here goes...

Having the entire car be one color (please read: entire car), it kind of looks like a cheap chevy pick-up from the late eighties.

Hey no worries, to each their own.

I could have lived with a sleek chrome door handle had they been the size and shape of the GTR / Aston Martin door handle, but IMHO they are a big clunky piece that takes away from the lines of the car.

You are very right in saying everything is subjective, particularly where appearance is concerned.

I specifically went red on the calipers to add some contrast, when I blacked out the door handles. I'll also be having some work done on the headlights to add some more red contrast into the car.

Hopefully it all works out the way I have envisioned.

I definitely 2nd the red brake calipers

xiven 02-22-2010 03:29 PM

if it looked like that, i would not have bought it. just my opinion though.

Jeffblue 02-24-2010 09:35 AM

This is definitely one of my favorite Z's that i've seen. looks awesome.

Matt 02-24-2010 10:03 AM

370zSteve's is the best looking Z in this thread. I'm not a big fan of the "murdered out" look, if that's what the kids are calling these days.

To each their own! GJ getting it how *YOU* want it though, that's the important thing!

that's ghetto.

it looks good. you have the right idea with the contrast. i like how the tail lights and brakes pop.

i'm not a fan of the rectangular outline around the nissan logo on the brakes. i wouldve painted it all red and added the logo as a decal later, or painted it on with a stencil and cleared it so it doesnt chip. im very picky though. it looks good from far but as you get close it looks a little hurried.

the job on the handles look awesome. on my pg, i like the silver contrast of the wheels and handles, so i don't think this as a "stock" option would work for everyone. but definitely works on the black. :tup:
