Thanks for the inspiration Wired 24/7. I appreciate it.

No prob. Like my grandfather always says, "You're over 21. I'm sure you'll make the right decision."

BTW, post pic of the GF when you can. This will help us place a dollar value on how much you should spend in mods.

Personally, I wouldn't mod a GF's car. Wife maybe, definitely not a GF. Have you priced aftermarket parts for the Z yet. You're talking about big money. Hypothetically, what if the GF leaves, then what do you do with all the time & money you've invested in her car?
very good point, I didn't think about that.

Agree. Heres what I have found about women and sports cars: they are well capable of making there own decisions. Want to mod a 350Z? Get one for yourself.

Sounds like she's a smart lady. Buys a Z. Boyfriend does the work and invests in the mods. Guaranteed marriage as the more he puts in the car, the more difficult for him to walk, the more he will put up with to save his investment.


Just Kidding! But it does sound like you have a smart GF. Pics of the pair would be awesome. Be sure to get before and after shots of the modding.

I think you should have her agree to & sign a pre-marital pre-nuptuail agreement! What's now hers is now yours! Seriously though if your GF bought a Z she's a keeper. Z owners are pretty much smart, intelectual & did I say smart!

+1, the Z is plenty fast for a girl as is. Rims are a good idea, add looks and performance.
