Oiyee, here we go First of all thanks. I am a white ninja owner (pearl white to be exact). I'm glad they don't make bikes white stock...why? Then it wouldn't be special! Haha.
Keeping them clean is easy. I don't notice it getting any dirtier than the stock black, then again, I do maintain it by giving it a wash down every other week. Honestly, dirt shouldn't be a factor in your decision to change the color Pics of the white: Old pic, doesn't look like this anymore haha.

See that's why the '09 Special Edition is so good, you got some green, some black, and some white. Sorry about the red and blue though.

Anthony... Your windscreen... Abouts how much does it life the air away from you? ON the stock windscreen the wind hits me in the chest or helmet (I am not exactally small) and your windscreen looks quiet nice...

I went to our dealership road and checked out all the pearl whites of various makes and manufacturers and the 350z easily stood out as the best in terms of the pearl not creating a milky/satin effect in the sun like the Lexus IS or the Cadillac Escalade. The pearl white is still very much white

Chris, are those aftermarket wheels? Or are they stock with gold powder coating? How much did it cost to get those wheels?

I asked my cycle shop if they did powder coating and they do, only they outsource to a local powder coater. FYI, if you do plan to change the color of your wheels know that you'll have to: A) Get new seals and bearings because the powder coating can't happen unless the wheel is nothing but bare metal. The motorcycle shop should advise you on this...they'll usually order what you need to replace them. It's about $65-75 dollars if I can remember for the parts B)LABOR = Pay the shop to strip the paint on your wheels (that is not free or easy), Remove your old bearings and seals, and install new ones, Remove and reinstall your tires, and install your wheels again. About $175 C) The paint itself. First you need to bring reference material in so they know what type of "gold" or whatever you're looking for. (i.e. All reds aren't the same, if you get red and you wanted cherry instead of brick, you're screwed). Basically, the more info you give the shop, the less of a chance they have to screw it up. D) Cost to paint/coat the wheels (about $300 for both)...but your results may vary.

I did not think that white would be a good color for a bike until I seen all the cool pics. You have a convert here.
