Your exterior looks great, perfect example of "less is more". Classic 350z look. Height and wheel setup Is spot on, and condition of the car looks brand new (people seem to forget how important it is to keep the exterior/interior mint).

As for the steering wheel, not a fan of it. Like already said not sure it goes with the rest of your interior, but then again i'm not a fan of wood anything in a sports car.

Thanks, I try to keep the exterior as clean as possible, although I would love to get the car resprayed, since Nissan paint isn't the best.

I know the wheel definitely isn't the best fit for the Z's interior as it is now, but I always wanted to try a deep corn Nardi, and didn't want to commit to the red stitching that came on the other two deep corn Nardi wheels (I really dislike different color stitching that doesn't match within the interior).

The steering wheel feels great when driving though. Who knows if it will stay for good after I start making a theme for the interior. I want to pick up a more simple personal wheel to compare.

Soon LOL, there's still snow all over the place here. Trying my best to find a job out in sunny California.

Thanks! The lip size definitely creates that illusion. I could definitely fit bigger tires back there too.

After seeing recent pictures of your car, I'm really considering that rear diffuser.

Latest picture I took after the snow melted today.

I am from PA as well, I have had my 06 350z for 2 days and cannot keep it as clean as yours. There is stuff falling from trees and bird crap every hour.

Where about in PA are you located? I am in NEPA.
Have you had that oil consumption issue?

Congrats on your purchase! The key is to keep a good coat of wax on the car at all times, and keep a few microfiber towels in the glove box. The worst is bird poop on my wheels.

I'm located in the suburbs of Philadelphia. I've had this car for close to 6 years now and I have been totally fine in regards to oil consumption. I change the oil every 3500 miles or so. The Z has treated me very well.

Still looking good. Hard to imagine your car with a different set of wheels. Any idea what you want to get?

I know right, the GT-S have been around for a while. I responded to your PM too.

Your paint brings tears to my 2006 black Z. It's luscious.
