Well, I had a World Rally Blue Subaru WRX for 7 years. I didn't get tired of the color, and it was pretty easy to keep clean. The color looked good when dirty, but excellent when clean. I know it's not the same car, but the color is similar, maybe just a shade darker.

I ended up buying a PG 370Z, since I did not want another blue car. My thought was that the blue would stand out and the PG is a less flashy color. Anyway, here's my humble contribution to this thread:

Looks great...

Still really torn about the colors, lol. I do like the "flashy" aspect of the MB, since this car is meant to stand out, but at the same time I feel the PG looks "richer". It's a tradeoff that I'm not sure which direction I want to go.

Can't go wrong with either pic those. 2 color were my pic also but I decided to take pg cause black is hard to maintain clean

Minicobra1 did it, do a search for black fangs and you'll find his thread. I'll be painting mine this weekend :-). I bought satin black paint to do it last weekend, but I tried it on a piece of plastic and it was too shiny. So I'll get flat black instead, as per Minocobra's thread.

I will post pictures when I'm done.

What paint color did you go with (flat, semi-flat)? I'm about to do my rear very soon.

pg6speed 08-28-2009 09:28 AM

^^
Its actually Duplicolor DE 1634 Low Gloss Black engine enamel.

DannyGT 08-28-2009 09:28 AM

Incoming pictures this weekend...matte black fangs, roof, rear valence, and headlights!

If it comes out well I might just do the whole car! I'm going with the matte because its not flat, its actually a satin style, and it has a low gloss which gives that awesome look when a car is properly done.

ilive2win 08-28-2009 11:50 AM

are you going to take the headlights apart or is it just an overlay?

DannyGT 08-28-2009 12:22 PM

Apart

ilive2win 08-28-2009 12:47 PM

good, only way to go

The Satin black is definitly settling down, was alot more glossy when it came out of the shop...it looks gorgeous now. Will get some rolling shots + possible updated video tomorrow.

dad 08-30-2009 11:21 PM

Beautiful, outstanding photography! I like the car also! Those are the best shots I've ever seen of a 370Z!:tiphat:
That is one sharp looking Z!

I agree, black like my old 350 or pg are the only two colors that work for me. I still really like black the best but after it's a few years old it's so hard to keep the little scratches buffed out it's just too much work for me. I also liked the Burnt Orange, now Persimmon, seats in my old Z better but they didn't age very well. So I went black inside this time.

The_KEG 09-26-2009 04:33 PM

DannyGT - love the smoked headlight covers. I don't know if i missed it somewhere but I would also like to know if its an overlay or take them apart.

Also if anyone knows the legal issues that can or may occur with smoked headlight covers.

Thanks

I thought I would post up my thoughts on my design on powder coating the sport wheels :D

schrute 09-28-2009 02:35 AM

danny, keep up the tasteful mods. looks hot bro. ive never been a big fan of messing with headlights, but thats perfect on this color.:tup:

DJcuetip 10-07-2009 04:13 AM

very niceee!! danny so you color matched the swoosh thing and painted to ambers black as well right?... anyone know if that really is a law issue on the rd (im in cali)

DannyGT 10-07-2009 07:52 PM

Yes, at least in NJ its the law...There needs to be some sort of orange or reflectors at the corner of the lights/corner panel. But, oh well! :)

That whole swoosh part + anything orange was painted the color of the car.

TN370ZLC 12-06-2009 09:30 AM

Where . . .
 
Is this thread done ?

No more pictures.

It looks like a majority of the folks have the sport package. I like everything about the sport package except the rear wing. I really think the wing takes away more than it adds. To each his own as either way looks good, but wingless gives it a porschesque kinda look to me. But then what do I know, I drive a Titan? (for now)
