Default Just got a Z

I just got my 2005 350z yesterday for my 16th birthday with 12,000 miles on it. If anyone has suggestions on rims/bodykit/etc. that I should purchase for it let me know!

All i can say for you is this. Please be mature. Learn all you can and research all you can before you start a thread that has already been talked about just 10 seconds earlier. Nice car though! Congrats.

Also, try doing a search for these common terms and understand why you don't want to follow in their footsteps. 16, young, mom and dad, insurance, what rims/tint/size/.... Again, just be mature about your posting style and you'll be ok!

Okay, where should I do this research? And the reason why I asked is because I am completely new to the 350z's and I was wondering what the average owner adds on first/needs to get.

And for the guy who posted the picture of the belt, go f u c k yourself.

Common man. I JUST said be mature about how you post. Because you're so young, you're going to catch more flack than people who've been around longer. You don't want to mess around and get banned before you even make 10 posts. Take your time, look around, hit the search button a few times and it'll all come together for you. Hope this helps? Good luck... Again.

chill out lol...don't get too defensive, most posters here are nice people and they are just trying to help.
i got the same color Z, nice choice btw.
i got an 03 with oem 06 LED taillights and 06 18" rims.
i'd start with a sweet aftermarket catback exhaust system and UR underdrive pulley......may be a JWT intake. Enjoy your ride.

There is really no first mods to start out with, you must get the feel of the car and decide what you think needs improvement ex: if you need more power get an intake and plenum or exhaust, if you feel the z doesn't stop good enough get a brake kit, if you want style and all show no go, get a body kit and some rims. It is your car and not ours. Just have fun with it and personalize it how you want it.congrats. To each his own.

You're a lucky guy. Congratulations. Take care of it and it will last a long time. This is a great site to learn a lot about the Z and the options that you have. Investigate and pick up a lot of opinions before you head down a path with mods.

Congratulations on the first car. I wish I had something like the Z for my first. Anyways, be careful man. Don't get to confident and brave with your new ride. It can definately get away from you.
