Default Picked up a Z on leave!

Hey from Afghanistan,

Last july I was fortunate enough to find an 06 350z 6mt PPW. I love it. it already has tint, nismo type r exhaust and cai. I cannot wait to get back to the states to start working on it. I am going to take like 2 months to devote to dressin her up. I have already gained so much knowledge just from browsing these old posts and I just wanted to thank everyone who takes the time to post all of the usefull info. I am sure that this website will help guide me in my pursuit of the perfect Z!

Yeah I'm only getting about 3000 on the 1st and 15th of each month as a SGT with 4 years in. But like I tell everyone it really isn't worth it, especially when you have back to back deployments with only a year break in between.

OK so these are some of the only decent ones that i have.
And yeah the army really isnt worth it (Too many stupid people in charge, and your constant doing dumb ****.) I am set to get back in Nov and hopefully ETS'd by dec!!!!
Ok so the first 4 are my car. BEAUTY!
The last pic is the front end andhood that i ordered.
I have also ordered Duraflex N-1 rear add-onds and side skirts. with a carbon fiber rear diffuser. Fairlady Z emblem (which will go on the back) and new black Z Emble for the front end.
It has on it a nismo exhaust and intake, but thats it.

You werent supposed to order anything until you cleared it through us.. Not going in a good direction IMO.... GL with it though....





If you have bad taste about the Army, cool.. Take it up with your chain of command.. Not here, you dont look professional IMO..
