Congratulations
Is it a mt or at
Great car and will enjoy it even better when top is down(the only way to go)
I have the exact same year,color and model. Hope you were kidding about wallet leather cleaner for your burnt leather seats. There are many good products available for your leather, but my burnt leather doesnt absorb much yet(plenty of oils in it still) I choose meguiars gold class leather conditioner when it ready. Is it garaged? if not search for top cleaners and rejuvenators, the sun will take its toll.Also look at using a primus gel or equivalent on your bushings(for your vinyl top)to lesson the strain on your motors-many threads on this.

It has been a long time coming. I fell in love with this car as I entered college. All those sleepless nights programming has finally paid off. Let this be a lesson to all those still in college thinking about buying a new Z. WORK HARD! It will be completely worth it.

Anyways, I know this thread is worthless without pictures so i'll take some after work tomorrow and post them.

Did I mention I've been smiling like a retard since I got the car?
that's what i first said 4 1/2 years ago when i first got out of college and got the Z after I landed a sw engineer job.

Now I regret buying the Z, wasting money on new car, i only have 10 more payments to go. Z is a very inconvient car.

You'll feel how I feel in 3 years.

MT!!! are you kidding me? why would anybody get an automatic sports car? Different strokes for different folks I guess.

The car is garaged, but I will go out and get the cleaners and conditioners since the car spends 1/3 of its time outside in the baking hot parking lot.

Thats exactly what my old boss told me. The boss that bought 3 Porsches, 3 BMW, and a range rover early in his career. I'll admit the car isn't practical what so ever. The car is just a toy, an expensive one at that. I guess what I failed to mention earlier was that I kept my car from college, a Mazda Protege, and use it during less than favorable weather conditions.

Your Z is breathe taking. Love the color. All you need now is the Rays GT wheels that come on the Gt Coupe. I have a set on my 07 this is what they look like you can find some on the Market place personal classifieds. They are are to find but well worth it.

Your car is sex.

I do like the Ray's wheels, but I'd like to go with something that stands out a little bit more. Nothing too crazy, although I've always liked BBS

Anyways, Rims will be the last thing I do. Ideally, I'd like to get things down under the hood first to have a little bit more to back up a ridiculous looking car.

Thanks for the compliment I like those BBS wheels they would really make your ZR look kick ***.
