Talking I now have rights to post;)

Bought me a '06 Silverstone enthusiast 350z last week. Found this site tonight and already feel at home I dont have big mod plans really, I love my car the way it is. But the things I will do is replace the stereo system...
and the others maybe I can get some help from all you.

1- I want to get new seats. I have seen in movies and such the seats that look like all aluminum. They look so cool. I hope they are comfortable. But where can they be found?

2- Paint job....I want a bad *** custom paint job

3- As for the stereo system....I am sure I will find a nice one. But I want it to look great to. Like maybe amps in the trunk? With lights and such? How have any of you done it, if you have?

4- Thanks for the tip.....found a clearbra factory just 20 miles from me. Thats a good investment.
Thanks for the help!

Ryan

Welcome to the forum!! I hope you have a strong constitution as you will need a sense of humor along with a couple other things in order to survive hear!! You seem excited (which is to be expected) and plan a fair amount of work to a car that you "...love....the way it is". Just a heads up that you are talking about $5K for a good custom stereo (w/ parts & install) then about $1K for the seats AND $3-5K for a paint job WORTH the money!! So your talking as much as $11 G's for the THREE things you mentioned. I was told this can be an expensive hobby. I laughed then ..sometimes I hurt ( $$$$ ) now. As was said to me then....."Once you start you NEVER really stop modding" . Just my2C

Congratulations on your new ride. It is so true about the mods. Once you start you will never stop.
