So I found a Moonlight White sedan to compare next to my Starefire Pearl during lunch.
After seeing it side by side I have come to the realization that the color is the same as the one on my wife's '14 QX60 (I always thought it was Ivory Pearl because of how yellow/pearl it is ).

Moonlight White:


Ivory Pearl:

 

Pearl becomes yellow-ish when exposed to the sun for years without proper care to protecting the paint. When newly painted or cared for, Nissan's pearl-white is a stunner. But to each their own. Just a color.

 

I was John but not yet. I think I can buff it all out, I hope. Camber kit front and back, it wasn't cheap but it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be. I was going to just go with the rear at $150 but it made sense to just do both.

It's really a shame Brad, I knew I didn't want to stay her long term but didn't think I'd be chomping to move so soon. I'm told I'm getting nibbles on the house so maybe things will move quickly.

You guys are bad influences! I'm still on the fence about the sport bumper vs the black bison.

 

Hmm I see your point, this Q50 looks quite similar - just a little less yellow. But agree, it is just a color.

 

^^^
The lower chrome trim piece on the trunk face is totally gratuitous. I'd ditch that in a heartbeat. And I bet that big upper chrome piece would look so much better painted the color of the car. Then just cover that lower bumper difuser area in flat black, and the Q50 would look halfway decent from behind.

 

Yeah if I made changes they would probably coincide with your suggestions. But I don't think the stealership would've liked me modding their loaner!

I liked the new creature comforts the Q50 had to offer, but I wouldn't consider one until (if?) they offer 6MT. Also the steering wheel was quite loose, you can literally shake the wheel left and right 1/4" and the car stays straight.

 

Q50 is an utter joke. Somehow it has been selling well as I see at least 3-5 of those everyday within my commute.

 

Man, Rex and Lego...sorry to hear about your respective bad luck incidents with your cars. I hope they're both easy to fix.

+1 on the sport front bumper and chin spoiler. I have been mulling the chin spoiler for a while. But I probably won't do it before I have the front end repainted and entire front end clear bra'd.

 

At a distance, I get them confused with the new Mazda 6... which IMO is a far better design to appreciate than the Q50, even if overall the Mazda is somewhat basic and tame. I suspect a Speed6 model would change all that.

 

Tony, that Starfire pearl on your car looks stunning. Digging that for sure.

 

Mazda6 over Q50 any day.

 

Thank you sir. Should be a quick fix for me I think. Just unneeded... On well.

 

^^ I hear you on that. At least it'll be a quick fix.

 

My vote, not that you asked for it, would be the sport bumper. I'm trying to remember what the front bumper of the black bison kit looks like. Do you have a picture?

 

Yay torque steer!!!

I'm not a huge fan of the Q50, but RWD>FWD
