Default New Z Owner from NJ

Well let me introduce myself. My name is Mike and I just recently picked up what is my favorite car. A 2003 350z Track with 60k miles for $7,000. My father owned the car for about a year then I bought it from him for an amazing price. Don't want to make you guys / girls bored by writing a book lol, but if wondering how I got the car for so cheap, ask.

Here are a few pics I took today ( Bad weather and dirty will have better ones soon )

Mods:
Tinted Tails / Side Markers
Tinted Windows 5%
2 10in JL Audio Subs and JL Amp in Custom Box for the 350
Interior LED Blue Lights
Blue Tooth
AEM Cold Air Intake
XM Radio
Mesh Grill Insert ( Taken off! No updated Pic yet )

Nothing major, but that is what has been done to the car.

Your father really hooked you up. I would remove the mesh grill and smoked taillights, imo. This is a z not a civic.

It's how I bought the car. 3 days ago. And it has been raining. I don't care for the grill either. But why would I complain about it. I spent 7k on it not 15k I feel I made out with a great deal. It's what he liked at the time. Sorry it's not the way you like it.

Welcome to the forum, and congratZ. At least you know the history of the car. Looks like it could do with a bit of cleaning up. Hard in Winter we know.

Thank you. And yes, to be honest, I have no plans on changing them. I like them a lot.

Default Welcome, nice car.

It is your car now so you can do with it what you want (and what you can afford). FWIW, I agree that the grill is bad and the stock wheels are great.

I'll point out however, that 5% tint is a hazard for you and for people, kids, pets, things around you when you are driving at night. Do yourself and everyone else a favor and have the tint replaced with something more intelligent.

True statement on the tints, but only time it's driven at night, is going to work which is at 1-4 am depending on how busy UPS is. Going to sleep early keeps the car off the streets at night. And I don't let parents drive it. But thanks for heads up. Also, about the stock rims. I have heard they go for a lot, but no thoughts about getting rid of yet. Guy I know had to wait 6 months before he could get his hand on a set...And paid a pretty penny for them.
