Default New Z owner finally, now for mods

After searching for a month, finally found the perfect Z. It's a black 05 touring automatic bone stock with 45k miles in mint condition.






Now for the mods, I'm thinking of putting on a NOS kit, maybe a turbo charger later.

What do you guys think of this? I think the lambo doors and that front bumper are pretty sweet.


Getting this one off ebay real soon. These wings are badass.


I like the 20" chrome wheels, so I might be getting something like this:


Let me know what you guys think!

Congrats on the purchase.

I would hold off on your mods until you have had a chance to see them in person.

Lambo doors, and those chrome rims is kinda Fast and Furious style.

Just take a look around and the site and you will see that hardly anyone has either of the two since they are both played out..

Just my $.02..

Congrats on the car. I think it looks great as is. If I were you, I would go for some mods that are a little more "tasteful". The wing, lambo doors, and rims you mentioned look pretty bad to me. JMHO...

Trying to make it look like buzzardmountain's with that salad bar, are you?

BTW, no chrome battle wheels. Zs are allergic to chrome battle wheels. and it's not bone stock it's got that aftermarket grill that you're gonna replace....

Haha, sorry guys, I was just playing around, I'm just so excited. It's going to be left stock.

About the aftermarket grill, the previous owner said it's factory installed option. Is that true? It seems like I see good number of Z's with the grill. I don't know, I guess I will just leave it for now, it doesn't bother me.

Thanks guys, I will probably remove the grill. Is that thing just bolted on? I will try next weekend.

Hehe I prefer autos now, the fun of manuals just wore off after 10 years. I just cruise around, none of that track, race, drag etc...

The Z is replacing a leased 2005 BMW 325ci...thank god that lease is over this month!

Just say NO to Giant Rear Wing and Chrome 20". The Z is a real sports car not a Honda Civic!

MOdd your car for performance not looks or get a Honda Civic.
