Congrats!! I'd say the JWT dual pop-charger intake system w/heat shields. It makes the car sound a little meaner, and makes it a little more responsive on the throttle, then custom wheels next!!!!! Might as well get off to a running start right?...............

Wheels and a small drop are a must. I am going to go with something black with a red lip. Should look nice!

If you are concerned about your warranty, perhaps be a little careful about what mods you make, so as not to nullify your warranty. CongratZ by the way.

Picked up the roadster yesterday. My last car was an 06 wrx STi and I was worried that the Z was not going to be enough power for me. I was wrong! Even from a dig, the Z pulls very hard. No turbo lag is a plus for sure. Women now look at the car which is anouther plus. I am very happy with my purchase. I have a couple of downers that maybe I can get some help from you guys on.

1. Whoever had the car prior to me smoked in it. The smell is not horrible, but is there. Anyone have any tricks in getting rid of this? I scrubbed the interior last night and it helped alot.
2. The car is black and there is lots of hard to get rid of water spots.

I love the car and look forward to getting bit by the mod bug I will post some pics soon! Thanks.....

1) Time and not leaving the car closed up will help the most. Drive with the windows cracked, park it in a garage with the windows wide open.

2) My last sports car was Black. They look great, but water spots are a constant problem. Wiping the car down when it gets wet is the only solution. That is one of the reasons that my Z is not black.
