I would suggest getting a front end alignment ASAP.
BTW I guess your top checked out OK!

I also found in the trunk the previous owner left me nissan black leather bra. I don't think I will use it but its nice to have.

I'd like a Stillen spoiler as well. Any replicas available?

Looks great! Enjoy it.

I bought mine at the end of the year and I went to there shop, they said they were clearing them out of their warehouse across the street, so I probably got a good deal on it...
$300 seems high tho, but I'd suggest to keep an eye open, I think when they get to many in the warehouse they sell them cheap in the $200 price range..
And yes you have to get it painted and some sanding is also required to get the tight fit....
I've had mine since new. I treat the seats every few months with Mothers. They have stood up well (better than my bimmer). On the outside I Zaino her twice a year and she still shines nice when clean.
Search around a bit on the tranny fluid change. I havn't done mine and there are lots of threads on it.

I have a newbie question. My dealership wants to charge 219.00 for a transmission fluid change and around 110.00 for a diff. fluid change. They only charge 30.00 for oil change. They said the trans is so much because of the fluid. Should I pay that much or go buy the fluid myself and just pay them labor?

Thank for the replies and comments. I try to get everything nice and shiny 
I have heard great things about Zaino. I will look into their product.
Is the Mother's leather conditioner something you can buy from any local parts store?
I need to do some more searching on the trans fluid. The dealership here was booked all weekend so I couldn't get in for the oil change. I am going to have them check the fluid to see how clean it looks.

I just love the way the Roadster look, it looks good top up but top down thats one bada$$ vehicle. Your burtn orange seats really brings out the interior thats a nice clean Automobile, Whew sometimes I think I should have gotten a Roadster.
Sharp as you wanta be, hell you look as good coming out of that in a business suit or a golf outfit.

I love listening to the exhaust with the top down. The car really is a great daily driver as well. It has been my favorite over the S2000 and the TT 3000GT VR-4. Power for power it is pretty much on par with the S. But for low end torque the Z has the win. It is a great balance of power, handling, and comfort.

Also, just thinking about your tranny, unless there are problems, why are you changing the fluid? Isn't it lifetime synthetic fluid (I don't have my manual with me). Given the number of transmission issues I've ready (on the 6MT), I wouldn't tinker with it if its performing well.

I haven't checked the manual yet. The trans is strong and smooth as can be. I just thought it was more of a safety thing to check the trans fluid and possibly change if it was never done before. If it is lifetime that is good enough for me.

i'm thinkin maybe when the Z had miscellaneous work on it (oil, pulley, or anything that might require the bumper to be removed or loosened) they didn't line up the headlight and bumper correctly. BUT
I could be totally wrong and just being picky
just lookin out for you. i hate gaps on my cars! but like i said it could be the angle.this pic doesnt seem to have that gap under the headlight:

No problem I didn't want to sound offensive or anything. It just got me worried a little. I had to wait to check it out after work. I guess its just the angle. I checked it out and compared it to the driver side. I couldn't tell. That canon rebel xt just takes too good of pics lol. I will make sure there won't be any adjustments needed though when I take the car into the dealership for an oil change.
