Default Guys (and gals) I finally bought it!!

This past Saturday, I finally purchased one of the most beautiful cars ever. I am now the proud owner of a brand new Silverstone 35th Anniversary edition 350Z. (It had 5 miles). I absolutely love it. The rims alone are worth the difference in price. They are a perfect match for the Silverstone color. I catch so many people just staring at the rims.

I appreciate everyone who answered all of my "stupid" questions and concerns for these past few months. All here certainly form the best forum for any car. Because of this forum, I was able to negotiate this car for $200 under invoice (unbelievable to me). The only options I have are the kick plates, floor mats, trunk mat, and convenience net.

I'm not into modding or anything like that, but I do want to get the windows tinted a little. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make that look the best? I've never done that before.

If anyone has any questions about this particular model, I'll be certainly glad to try and answer them. I just couldn't be any happier.

thanks, guys!! It's still hard for me to believe that I get to drive this awesome vehicle every day now. I let my dad drive it the other day and his first comment was he couldn't believe how much power and acceleration it had in 4th gear and beyond. It just seems to have an unlimited amount of power no matter what gear you are in.

The only thing I can think of that can and should be better is the radio. However, I just roll down the windows and listen to the music my engine is playing!!

But it is even worse when you buy the car and want to mod it right away.... Empty wallet VERY fast.

congrats good job on the price. The bug will get you soon enough. You will want to do little things here and there. The tint is a good place to start. A JWT popcharger is the next logical step. Its the little things that say you care.

Congrats! The 35th is pretty sweet, eh? I also think the rims are awesome. The naysayers need to see them in person to appreciate them. They are some of the nicest OEM wheels I've ever seen on any car. $200 under invoice is excellent! I ended up paying $1000 over, but that did include the Nismo intake they had installed the day the car arrived. It was the only one in the state, and they're weren't going any lower on price. I had just bought my '04 Xterra there a few months before for $500 under invoice, so I figured in the end I paid around invoice for both vehicles...

Thanks Camel!! You don't know how many times I looked at the pictures of your car to decide if I should get the 35th. Also thanks for responding to my questions. You were of great help. And you are right, the rims on this thing are stunning.
