I like black, but go with whatever you like, not what the people on here like. After all, you're the one who has to drive it.

my 2 cents worth....

Since I have a black one and a red one, I am gonna have to say keep it its original color, that way you dont have to paint the engine compartment, and the door jambs. But hey, like the others said, Its your car make yourself happy. Let us know what you decide to do. Good Luck.

Black is sweet but only on a 91 or 92 z OR on a 87 to 89 GTA or formula with black GTA rims.

White is my first choice. Looks great day or night.

What are you talking about? I think black looks sweet any year, mine is an 82 and I think it looks pretty sweet in black. Oh and if it wasn't implied already my vote is for black
