Flat Black 370Z. Yay or nay?
 
We all have seen the flat black Nismo by motoexteme (also here http://www.the370z.com/members-370z-...tml#post364435). How about this regular 370z?

very nice and clean..liking the exhaust conversion..and im in love w those rims? anyone know what brand are they?

Demon Z 07-03-2010 03:42 AM

I really wanna like it, but I just can't. Some headlights would be good too.

Trips 07-03-2010 06:21 AM

I would say Yes, it has that Stealthy look.

Jordo! 07-03-2010 06:33 AM

Notwithstanding the fact that flat black is pretty played out, I think it looks great.

Not a fan of the tailpipe set up, tho'.

nogoodname 07-03-2010 06:37 AM

On a stock Z, it would look ugly. That Z is modded so it looks good in matte black.

m4a1mustang 07-03-2010 06:43 AM

Do not like.

LunaZ 07-03-2010 07:15 AM

Not for me, but I like it.
Except the shiny wheels are throwing everything off here. It needs black wheels with some gloss to compliment the shiny bits like the mirrors and hood vents.

HKYStormFront 07-03-2010 08:56 AM

matt black wrap? yes, great

that Z? not so much... :wtf2:

TreeSemdyZee 07-03-2010 09:20 AM

Not a fan.
The exhaust looks ridiculous, not to mention that it's a good foot from the bottom of the car where the exhaust routes. High exhaust is fine when you've got a rear/mid engine car, but this is just goofy.

TX_370 07-03-2010 10:16 AM

Looks amazing!

Fly1 Motorsports 07-03-2010 11:01 AM

I'd pass on that. I like the matte look in certain scenarios...but here, I feel it cheapens the look of the car. :twocents:

frost 07-03-2010 11:08 AM

Looks like flat gray

:iagree: and the tailpipes should melt the rear fascia quite nicely :shakes head::shakes head:

Znatic09 07-03-2010 11:36 AM

:thumbsdown:It doesn't look bad, but I would have to say nay.

Zaggeron 07-03-2010 12:05 PM

That particular Z ... Nay

Cmike2780 07-03-2010 12:08 PM

Yes but...Needs to be darker & maybe a Stillen body kit. I like the hood.

SoCal 370Z 07-03-2010 12:11 PM

I like the exhaust. I like the rims. I also like the front headlamp assembly removed for better engine oil cooling ;) However, where the original exhaust was located needs more refinement and that "bite me" hood has to go.

fullmonty 07-03-2010 02:54 PM

Not a fan of the bumper, hood, or wheels. But aside from those things it doesn't look to bad at all

Waiz 07-03-2010 03:58 PM

With aftermarket wheels/suspension this will look good.

OEM, not so much.

KillerBee370 07-03-2010 06:24 PM

Looks alright to me but this look is a bit "done" already. The tailpipes are :facepalm:

Red370 07-03-2010 07:42 PM

I think the wheel color should match the car, the white clashes with the black theme a bit too much. That exhaust is crazy, not sure if I love it or hate it... very very unique...

Diocletian 07-03-2010 07:50 PM

Flat Orange would be awesome, but I'm weird like that. :)

fairladyZ34 07-03-2010 08:11 PM

looks more flat primer than flat black

dlmartin81 07-03-2010 09:59 PM

wheels look sweet

dad 07-03-2010 10:10 PM

It looks like something for a Bat Man movie!

BalanBro 07-12-2010 09:45 PM

Not too bad. Maybe if the wheels were a different color that continued with the theme. The exahust thing is a nice concept but looks (and very well might be) incomplete. The body need a bit more to pull off the look I think. Maybe a very subtle and color matched lip kit.

Personally, I kinda dig this look, but only on older cars. Like say an old datsun or maybe an FC mazda.

I always wondered with this paint; are they more difficult to keep up with in terms of cleaning? They look like fingerprint magnets to me.

Lemers 07-12-2010 09:54 PM

I saw a flat black G37 today, didn't like it. I just think cars that are flat black look unfinished.

RCZ 07-13-2010 08:52 PM

Yeah, I've seen matte Lambo SVs and Audi R8s and neither one looked as good as I expected. Its a cool idea, but I just never seem to fully like it.

I'm with you on this. Didn't the whole trend begin with some motorcross guy doing it to his huge 4x4 or something?

Skateboarder? this one...

KillerBee370 07-14-2010 09:30 AM

Yeah it might have been that.

FuszNissan 07-14-2010 09:56 AM

Don't like the hood....yuk

MightyBobo 07-14-2010 04:13 PM

Hood is gaudy as HELL, wheels are even worse. Other than that....meh, nothing particularly exciting. Exhaust will probably melt the fascia :-p haha. Good thing it'll be a show-car queen.

LateralG'z 07-14-2010 09:10 PM

That is one bad ace Z. i am loving it and the rims are sweet. Who makes em?

Sorry but nah!! :thumbsdown:

Lemers 07-29-2010 11:22 PM

Why don't you set a trend and use flat military tan instead?
