Thumbs up New Owner of Pearl White DESIGNER Track ed. 350Z

Hello all,

Well I figured I would start off here before posting anywhere else that I am a new owner of a Pearl White Track edition 350Z. Bought it 4 months back and have slowly been upgrading it ever since. I will post pictures of it tommarrow hopefully of where im at with it.

At the moment: It obviously has the Brembo system installed, had to though replace the front brake pads recently! I bought the new RH R5 rims 19 9.0 in the front 19 10.5 rear "HUGE LIP" with Low profile TOYO TIRES! That cost me about $3500 alone. I have the AEM cold air intake, along with a black billet mesh grill and black side markers. I have the New 06 Jspec clear led tail lights which I got lucky on as it seems like the only place to get them are straight from Japan. And the obvisous stuff Xzillon clear paint to seal my color and protect it as well as my trustly lojack for those people looking to steal! my car... SO STAY BACK!

Within the next 3 months I plan on purchasing the following in the correct order:

clearcorners.com - getting the black new 06 led-hid conversin headlights which are not even out yet, have to wait until spring.

also ive got the hookup on tein suspension kit!

exhaust im really sceptical about as there are so many different ones to choose but im going more towards RSR or Borla. I may go to Scotts Performance since im only a couple hours away and have them design me an exhaust for the car.

Well once those modifications are done:

I will play the waiting game and wait for my DAMD metal X front bumper and grill to come in from Japan and most likelly purchase the Central 20 side skirts and rear bumper to accompany the kit, I was also looking at the DO-LUCK but so many people have it already, I figured I would try something new, if it doesnt work you all will see the results within the next 6 months.

Lastly, once the kit is install and painted, a buddy of mine has a paint shop and will do a light pearl sky blue tint to my already white exterior accompanied by a couple clear coat finishes to finalize everything.

I have someone already looking at maybe sponsoring the engine arena once I start modifying the exterior and suspension. We talked about throwing on a turbo kit, headers, etc. But Im hesitant to start putting stickers on my car as Im really doing this all for my own pleasure of loving the 350Z.

It runs like a dream! I couldnt be happier. Oh and im a fulltime Designer in Downtown Sacramento CA. So my Licence plate says "DESINR Z" . Kinda Corny but I plan on getting a custom plated emblem on the back that says it too. This is what happens when you try to find a new hobby!

cheers,

DESINR Z

P.S. Pics coming soon!

Isn't "Pearle" one of the P's in PPW?

Anyway, congrats and welcome to the forum. We'll look for you at one of the next NorCal meets.

But one day when all is in place and my finances are ready, it will happen . One things at a time... Pics coming tommarrow.

Look forward to a 350Z meet up too though Ive never really been a part of clubs or meet up or a car community so I have no idea what goes on or what to expect?

It is called Pikes Peak by the dealer but if you look at the color it isn't white. It is a pearl color with metallic in it. SO that is why we refer to it as "Pearl".
There is not much about the color that is actually white.

BTW - congrats on the new car and you have great taste in colors.

Congrats and welcome to the boards. Beware though. Everyone seems "new neighbor" friendly now, but the next time you post, when you ask a question without running a search or repost something, you'll feel like you got pushed into a tank of piranhas. Some of these guys are notorious for that.

I think NNA took PPW to mean both the track and Pikes Peak itself, a "Fourteener" here in Colorado since its always white!

Default Need some feedback!

I just got paid today! Was wondering if I should talk to Mr. Zipp to customize my headlights and do a paint job or wait for the 06 led black headlights to come in the SPRING from clearcorners???? here the addy: http://clearcorners.com/products/nissan/350zx3/h_lamp4/

Also I found this on EBAY for seat covers from this company iggeeseatcovers
heres the auction : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSA...QQcmdZViewItem

I was thinking of getting the black synthetic leather on with a white stripe down the middle. Cant really beat the price. I figure might as well do that instead of paying over $1000 or more through someone else. Might as well use that money on maybe the engine? Turbo eventually? I dont know. Looking for feedback on the seat covers. Wondering if its a good buy. I dont want to downgrade my car.....?? your thoughts?

DESINR Z .

I already took the pics, I just dont have a memory card reader to transfer it to my comp. Will though tommarrow!

There's no "super black" race track?

I guess that sounds racist now that I think about it...
