What color?

I've been looking for Ideas on paint jobs for my z. A while ago I came across a black Z with a custom hood scoop down the middle that was supposedly viper black or somthing like that. Thing is I've spent hours looking through the garage trying to find it again and I cant. Any one know if the pic still exsits on the site?

My alternative color would be a dark dark burgandy red. what cha think?

Skully is the user with the black Z

There are many colors in the Rainbow. Many of which will work on your Z. Its up to you.

Hum... viper black. Well, there's only about 3.2 billion pics of Z's on the interweb... so I'll take a gander.

Personally I like bright pink. Like Barbie pink... yeah.

I stay away from black, and any silver or grey Z's. WAY overplayed but they look good. Orange is the best color really. Can't beat that...

Hey there plain white Zee, what would it be like being grey. Looking at you from a thousand miles away Snwy calls you ghey...

i like my silver car, dirt barely shows up till its really dirty. i have 2001 mustang silver on mine. yellow actaully looks pretty good to. you could always paint it new hondah blue, its a nice color. go to cardomain, look thru all the different s130's, and try and envision your car and how you want it to look.

black really does suck. it heats up fast in the summer and shows dirt. i have a 03 hyundai tiburon that is quicksilver it hides dirt well and stays cool.

man screw that. those downsides won't be any problem for anyone that cares about their car any. keep it in a garage and wax it every time you drive it, and black is an awesome color! i shows the curves the best.

black is so high maintenance. believe me i know. every little flaw will show like its foot wide.. if you go black make sure your body is straight as hell, or youll see every ripple and wave on your car.. redish burgandy is a cool looking color but i wouldnt go too dark.. the S130 has some really nice lines and if you go too dark it kind of hides them.. i say add some metalic to it..
