Default MY 350z!!! (progress)

HELLO!!!

this is my story:

i'm a 19 year old, industrial engineer student. i have no credit so my dad bought me a 06 nissan 350z, it is a metallic black, 6mt, base model with 49k miles. even tho he bought it i make all the loan payments, and insurance. as soon as i payoff the car completely, he will transfer the title to my name. i have a full time job witch pay's me enough to pay all my bills, and save a little money.

i got the car 5 month's ago and absolutely love it!

all the mods i have done to the car so far are:

K&N Typoon cold air intake
HKS full exhaust system
F1 racing stage 1 clutch and 18 lb flywheel
jensen VM9223 multi receiver
eyelids
billet grill
5% tints

this is my car:
















(yes !! one of the tips it's bended, i drop it in the process of installing it)

i'm getting new wheels and tires this weekend, so this weekend i'm going to be dedicated exclusively to my z. i'm going to vacuum her, wax her, check all her fluids...

and as i get more modifications done to my car i will post more pics!!

all suggestions and constructive criticism its welcome!!

Moncada.

Welcome, prepare to get flamed for your dad buying your car and you being 19...AND thats not an HKS, so many will also comment negatively if you say its an HKS...

Anywho, welcome! So far so good, id lose the grill tho... Have fun, drive safe!

thank you, yes!! i seen some of the thug love from my350z members.... as long as it's all constructive comments it's all good

and yes its not an HKS legit full exhaust system, but at the shop i got it from they have them both. the HKS and this one, so i had the chance to compare every single detail, and they were pretty much the same size, material, welding... and luck me there was another customer with this one in his 03 350z. i loved how it sound so i got it and i saved like 300 USD

question?? my exhaust has no brand, but its pretty much the same as the HKS! how should i called it/ name it?

Call it Lazy Eye. I freakin' cringed when I saw the bent tip. Also, what's up with the "Rambo Pictures In The Swamp"?

Otherwise, clean car, best of luck balancing payments, modding, and online flame.

Welcome. Don't mind what those guys are going to say. Truth is when I was 18, my dad co-signed with me on a car to help me build credit and learn the responsibities of managing loans. Although... the car was no 350Z. You are extremely lucky to have a cool dad. Don't do anything foolish like street race or speed and you'll be alright in my book.

theres nothing wrong w/ co-signing from parents. i started building credit with a star card (lol some of you know) before that, i couldnt even get a cell phone and i got turned down by sears for a credit card. wtf?

you set your self up for saying that your dad bought it for you. bump for honesty even though your getting flamed for it.

drive safe and enjoy your car

what?

he is cool!! he is thug tho, i took me a while to convince him!!! and one of the reasons he didn't cosign for me, but buy it himself was that. if i ever get a speeding ticket or get involve in an acident and i'm at fault, he would give me all my money back to buy a piece of sh@#it, and sell the Z.

i got turned down by sears for a credit card. wtf?
hahahaha, i actually have a pretty good credit, i got aproved by ATT for 2 phone lines haha i have a CC, that i mainly use for gas, and pay it off every month.

edit: (sorry for grammar i'm at classss :S )

they wont give a loan for 17k to a 19 year old with a $800 limit cc. and no real state or cars in the history record! my credit score # is good, but has no history, it only works for little things like a cellphone.

Nice. pictures. Just -1 for the condition of the grass or w.e your at. You can get stuff under the car and things could start rusting or problems could arise.

Take it to a muffler shop and they will sort out the fitment, Trust me it is unlikely you bent it, It requires some serious force to bend along with alittle heat. However, the shop should be able to straaighten it out for about $50. That's just the way those come, some are luckier than others.
