I'm Timmy, 20yrs old. Just bought an 04' touring; my very first car with my own money...and pretty proud of it.

has 129k, bought for 7k. all stock, in good condition besides a few tears on the top and a leak on passenger side window, and power seat problems.

Here's what I'm planning to do to it(i'm not a very experienced car person, but I'm willing to learn, I've been reading all over this forums), so if any experienced owners could put some input, that'll be great:

1. I just ordered a front lip purely for looks

2. I plan on sewing the tears with fishing line, gluing the seam, and black fabric tape to fix the tears, then use black top gel on it(any other suggestions/advices would be appreciated)

3. I've searched all over forums on how to fix the powers. Saw a video of a guy cleaning his power seat motors on a g35, so I plan on following that video (again, suggestions would be great)

4. Then I plan on fixing the window leak with black silicone(idk if thats a good idea, has anyone tried this method before? I read on here that silicone is bad on the rubber...?)

5. Also aftermarket air intake, exhaust systems, tires+rims(suggestion on a brand+link to product?)

6. I've also ordered white LED for the interior, to replace the old yellow stock bulbs in the front and trunk space

7. A double din stereo system+maybe speakers? (any suggestions+link to product would be nice too)

8. And finally which online 350z shop do you order from that you think is a good/trustworthy? I've looked at a few so far, but I'm skeptical.

If anyone could give advice/suggestions; and number which part they're referring to. It would be much appreciated. Thanks.

My advice is to start saving immediately to replace the top. From what I read here there is no "fixing" the top permanently, it has to be replaced.

In my opinion, that should be a higher priority than the other stuff you have listed.

Good luck!

Hey Timmy, welcome to the forum and congratulations on purchasing your Roadster. There are quite a few good places to buy from, each selling things that are different from the other shops, so there's not really a Wal-Mart one stop shop to go to.

Cars are personal. You have to figure a lot of this out on your own. I can easily come up with $7K worth of parts for a NA build. But I highly doubt that's what you're looking for based on your posts thus far.

i am as relaxed as can be..... but when you ask for things and then ask for links for them that equals wanting to be spoon fed

He makes a point.I mean every one knows what Google is, especially for parts.look up other people's builds and parts they used.
