Default NBM or Black?

Which color do you think looks better on a WS6, Navy Blue Metallic, or Black? Any reasons also would be appreciated, let me know your opinions! Thanks a lot!

black looks best when perfectly clean (like for 5 minutes)

NBM is awesome all the time.

I searched for 9 months for a 98 WS6 in NBM, but no luck (i hear there are only a handful of late 98's that are this color, in WS6 trim)

no luck, bought a red one, but still love blue. (trades considered, w/ M6 tranny)

For a T/A id have to say black. Why, the comercial (good advritising)and you can go with almost any color accents

For the chevy f-body, NBM with the painted Z06 wheels and a cowl hood (guy in houstin running around with one like that)

I too wanted NBM, but opted for red. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Navy Blue Metallic looks best because of how it shines in the sun, and under lights. Black is cool too because it makes WS6's look badass.

...but maybe I'm biased.

For any 4th gen F-bodies, black looks the sharpest by FAR. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> When clean and fully-polished up(along with some chrome wheels), it is hard to beat IMO.

I use to think you could not beat the look of a black T/A untill i saw my NBM T/A on the dealers lot and i fell in love with it. he had a black one too so i could have had black if i wanted

NBM all the way. I flew 1500 miles to pick mine up and drive it home ! At dusk, dawn, or night time everybody thinks it black. During the daytime it blue looks awesome <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Black! With weekly Zano attention, I keep my Black Onyx looking great. Never did like blue on a 4th gen F-body.
