My touring model finally arrived today! It is totally awsome! I'm scared to drive it, haha i know. Here are some pics. I'll be installing a AEM intake and Stillin Exhaust in then next 2 weeks, Stillin is doing all the install for free. This car will be featured in an upcomming issue of Super Street. Easy for me since i work there.

I love it!!

 

Congratulations and welcome to the family! I'm sure you'll have many happy Z days in the future.

 

3 things:

1. congratulations!

2. am I the only one who the first thing I noticed was, "yikes, so close to curbing that wheel!" ? hah, I bet I won't be the only one, be careful!

3. I am no Z expert, but that's an old 260 or 280z in the background isn't it, blue nonetheless! I bet it's jealous!

 

Car looks good! Why did you choose to go with the auto? What do you do for Super Street?

 

I know way too close to the curb! Anyways, I went with the auto b/c I've always driven manuals and am ready for a change. To be honest with you, the auto w/manual mode is just as fun as im concerned. This car has so much power it doesnt matter! No i'm not old, i'm 27. Too much traffic in LA for a manual any longer. I am an account exec at Primedia (Super Street, EuroTurner mags) Ad sales in other words. Also, this bose system really sucks! I can't believe it. The CD player is ok, but the radio sound quality is horrible. I have 2 infiniti kappas going in the front today, and will replace all speakers later. Hope that will help some.

 

Congradultions!! Dont feel bad.. I ordered mine on Feb 20, 2002. Needless to say.. sight unseen.. Saw the Jananesse version at the April 20th, 2002, car show.. I did see about two of them getting off the truck in mid August 2002, THEN mine came in August 29th.. What a day.. What a great car.. 6500 miles on it in about 9 months.. AND no problems..what-so-ever.. BUT for some wearing of the seat.. (not leather)..
See you around

 

I saw that too! LoL I was going to post about it, but then I scrolled down and saw that you already did *punch*

 

You may want to hold off for a bit on upgrading your Bose system I just got a response back from Bose today here it is;

And I agree with your choice for the automatic I've had my five months now and think it's excellent and would do it again

The vehicles that a dealer has on the lot, do they all have drilled holes in the front bumper for a license plate or is that something you have to request?

 

You need to tell the dealer not to drill any holes.

 

maserom,

11 weeks? Poor baby! I waited 7 months.

Congratulations on your new Z !

 

Wow, hopefully they will replace them!!!

 

Congrats! But no pity for 11 weeks. I waited 6 months and I wasn't even a pre order! BTW, good color choice! Here's my baby.

 

Is the Fairlady emblem an option or something? I've only seen it on a few Z's.

 

I thought they were in already: https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=24935

cool deal. what were you driving before? the Z has NO visibility compared to my prelude .
N E way, honk if you see a Brick around!

 

I ordered mine from Japan, and you could order them from courtesyparts.com for a while, but they don't have them right now. So, it's not an option (in the US--it's standard in Japan), but it can be done. I only did it because I thought it would be neat to have it since I'm a girl.

 

HEY SPEEDY GIRL LONG TIME NO BOTHER
