Introducing myself from Richmond, VA
Hey all,
So I've owned the Z since around Valentine's day, but I waited to do intro's and stuff until I moved back out here to Richmond for my internship. Lots of the G guys have already met me because I had an 03 sedan that I did some tasteful work to, then got me an 06 WRX that I pretty much did everything to (300+ whp and 330 wtq), then the tranny went out.... so I fixed it and traded it for this Z plus cash. Got her BONE stock, and have added:
-15% tint all around (50% on windshield)
-Pioneer AVIC-X930BT Headunit (in LOVE.. miles better quality that the sh**ty OEM Bose with iSimple integration).
-Tanabe GF210s
-White high power LEDs in the headlights, license plate lights, interior, etc...
-Slotted rotors and red stuff pads (EBC)
I decided to throw new tires on it instead of wheels, but I'd like some Nismo 370 wheels eventually. Also did a new clutch with lightened flywheel and slightly overhauled the front brakes since it needed them anyway.
Had to replace the master cylinder too after the stupid clutch still didn't feel right after a new clutch and all components, new flywheel, and tons of adjusting the pedal. finally feels right!
Thanks for looking, hope to meet some Z guys since I am already well familiar with the G guys.

Z When I got it:
Now not that different.. pic was taken before I let the springs settle

Well, because I want the aggressive aspect, and love the looks.. plus they are still an OEM wheel so getting them used with tires is pretty easy. I'm not opposed to something else by any means... it's just cheap n easy

Haha I usually tend to go for more brand name things and do everything right.. but with this car it was just a good deal for an enjoyable car I couldn't pass up.. I'm not lookin' to go all out 
I'll be ready for my first big boy garage queen purchase in a year or two anyway... I'll wait for my Z06 to drop big dollas :P in which case I'll probably revert back to a G sedan as a daily. Got mad love for the VQ
