Default New member saying hello

Hello everyone, I'm a new member and wanted to introduce myself. I have an 06 white, cabriolet, touring edition 350z. I bought it for my girlfriend but I love it so much, I drive it more that she does. We switch cars often. I usually mod my cars in a conservative fashion and I've stated modding the 350 with 20 x 10.5 and 20 x 8.5 Volk Racing GTC's. What should I do next??
I appreciate any and all input.

Muzzy,
where can I find clear corners for the front of the 350. Is it difficult to replace?

Sleeper its a manual.

Bronzee, yea she is still gettin comfortable with the manual, so I gotta drive it as much as i can before she does. Regardless, my car is done with mods so now working on hers and thats my other excuse to drive it. Also working on mods for my Armada, but thats the fun part, right. . .

Congrats and welcome!
Wheels make a huge difference and the Z begs for wider rear tires, lol.

Welcome and enjoy the ride.
I have an 06 white, cabriolet, ....
When I read "cabriolet," my first thought was you bought a Volkswagon Rabbit convertible. "Roadster" sounds much more......MY350Z.com-ish.

Any excuse is a good one.

Also if you check on Google you'll find a wealth of information about the history behind the "fairlady" name. Happy reading.
