another former 350z owner

tranceformer95 · 03-15-2009, 03:10 PM

Yep, I crossed over.

Back in early '08 I was tempted to trade in for an '08 Enthusiast, but of course I resisted. I figured I should wait until the next gen Z comes out before I made a decision.

I started to get excited when I saw pictures of the black camouflaged 370z driving around in Germany. Then I started hearing about the motor that would be in the new Z. I even priced out a few leftover '08 enthusiast and base models, thought about it for a while and....

On Thursday, I traded in my '05 pikes peak white 350z for my new '09 370z!!

It's Base Model w/ Sport Package 6MT

Congrats, great choice in color and equipment, you will not be disappointed

TreeFiddyZee · 03-15-2009, 05:22 PM

Very nice.
The name of the dealership cracks me up. Was the Roadrunner or Coyote around when you bought your car?

TRYNALIVEPRO · 03-15-2009, 05:24 PM

nice looking Z

I hate you. You got the exact same color/options I want, except I have to wait for mine to come in from Japan because there are none with those specs in the entire west coast. Congrats man!

Congrats and welcome to the real ultimate driving machine.

Next, lose the crazy dealership stain on the back and the front plate. Having fun with synchrorev match yet? teehee

Brandon26pdx · 03-15-2009, 10:03 PM

front plate...Nooooo!

Desire1314 · 03-15-2009, 11:58 PM

very nice color choice

but u wont be the only one on the forum with a 370z in white

tranceformer95 · 03-16-2009, 05:02 AM

Thanks guys and gals.

I already removed the little Acme decal on the back, thinking about removing the "370Z" on the back as well.

PPW on my '05 350z seemed to be one of the more rare colors, but looking on the forums it seems the opposite.

This weekend I should have some really nice pictures taken by a friend.

Noooo, don't remove the 370Z emblem yet. Give it atleast 6 months,more likely a year or two, some people still don't even know what a 370Z is yet. You don't want them thinking that you're driving a 350Z with a bodykit do you?

Brandon26pdx · 03-16-2009, 09:51 AM

They drill holes in the bumper for front plate mounting on the 370?

I agree with above, leave the badging on.

tranceformer95 · 03-16-2009, 10:03 AM

They had already drilled holes in it before I decided to buy it. Luckily the holes are drilled into the black plastic and not the white bumper part. Another good thing is that the bracket is not flush with the white part of the bumper cover, no marks will be left on it if I ever choose to take it off.

gabez33 · 03-16-2009, 10:42 AM

is there any way to modify the fangs? Or are they a solid part of the bumper?

They're part of the bumper cover.

Looks good.

If I were to ever get the 370z, this would be one of the colors
I would consider.

Post up a pic of your previous Z for reference.

lgear080 · 03-16-2009, 01:17 PM

Please get some wheels on this car... We've seen so little by the way of
Volks/Works, etc... that I am going crazy...

muy bueno

ChrisSlicks · 03-17-2009, 02:16 PM

Very nice.

I know a lot of the 350 owners don't like the fangs, but personally I do like them. Makes it look a little mean, along with those sharp claws for wheels that look like they're going to just dig into the pavement.
