Default Picked up a Z on leave!

Hey from Afghanistan,

Last july I was fortunate enough to find an 06 350z 6mt PPW. I love it. it already has tint, nismo type r exhaust and cai. I cannot wait to get back to the states to start working on it. I am going to take like 2 months to devote to dressin her up. I have already gained so much knowledge just from browsing these old posts and I just wanted to thank everyone who takes the time to post all of the usefull info. I am sure that this website will help guide me in my pursuit of the perfect Z!

Yeah I'm only getting about 3000 on the 1st and 15th of each month as a SGT with 4 years in. But like I tell everyone it really isn't worth it, especially when you have back to back deployments with only a year break in between.

OK so these are some of the only decent ones that i have.

Ok so the first 4 are my car. BEAUTY!
The last pic is the front end andhood that i ordered.
I have also ordered Duraflex N-1 rear add-onds and side skirts. with a carbon fiber rear diffuser. Fairlady Z emblem (which will go on the back) and new black Z Emble for the front end.
It has on it a nismo exhaust and intake, but thats it.

So what i am interested in doing is EVERYTHING!!
I'm lookin at some Black ZVolks 19" and a suspension kit (whatever makes it ride the smoothest but will hold up if i wanna play with also lower it like an inch). BBK I have been lookin at the 370z BBK Front and rear kit on here looks pretty sick and its a full kit!
F/I and all components that are needed to hold around 400-450hp!
Stereo: Pioneer HU and i want the 2 10" box that fits under the rear pillar.2 JL 10" and sub(prolly the first thing I get done.
any opinions on these from personal experience would be greatly appreciated. As I only know what i want it to be, not how to get it there.
Even after reading hundreds of threads i still dont know exactly what I want to do first or what i should?

OK JAY'Z
if your intentions on informing people about keeping there opinions to themselves and correcting them when you think that they have crossed the line, then why did you say nothing to slim 85(since i was replying to him)? Deployments Suck! I am almost done with my 2nd one. so when i spend 2 yrs in afghanistan i have the right to say its not worth it. (missing B-days, My first yr anniversary, Christmas Twice) Trust me ive earned it.
If I have offended you i humbly apologize, as being an NCO I am not promoting the army as a bad job FOR SOME. So the only direction I know I am headed is away from the ARMY.
Now with that being said I have read many of your posts throughout several threads, and I would very much appreciate and info you have to share with any of the things that I have stated I wanted. and the reason behind me already buying the body kit and Emblems is bc its my money and I am only seeking "guidance" not the answer. plus i was looking for like 2 months before i chose and was uninformed of the vast amount of people here that are able to help guide me.
So my ears are wide open to any and all options!

Thank you in advance
