Default "New" 350z Owner! Pics of progress so far.

So im a fairly new owner. Its a 2008 PPW. Ive had my Z for a little now but i waited to introduce myself until i started modding the car.Keep in mind im a teenager, im not as experienced as the rest of you so no need for harsh words, but deffinitely open to suggestions. Hope you like it. Comments welcome!

First day:



Now:
Work Emotion 11R
Carbon Fiber Diffuser
Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers
Carbon Fiber Film Overlay on the roof.
Spacers on the rears


Hopes for the future:
CF Door Handles
CF Lip
Lowering Springs
Tint

Just casual pics, nothing professional.

Sitting next to my dads car...


Some pics a friend took for me...

Maybe it's just me, but lay off the CF. Maybe look into an exhaust or other performance parts, but other than that nice car. I bought my Z when I was 17, I'm 20 now and still have some years left to pay it off

I guess CF is just a personal preference but i deffinitely see the concern in going overboard with it. Thanks for the comments

Remember, it's yours so do what you like. You drive it. You're not the only one who likes cf and that's why there will always be a huge market for it.

Shoot as far as cf goes, I have:
Seibon VT hood, engine, battery covers, diffuser, air duct, CW front lip, j pillars, mirror covers, a pillars, b pillars, door handle covers, gas cap cover, heat shields, license plate molding, front license plate, rear strut cover and shift console wrapped. And... I'm not even done and others have got me beat.

Carbon fiber all you want...

not bad, its getting there. I like the diffusser you got, although imo its missing rear add ons. just a suggestion. Definitely tint when you get the chance, and side markers overlays perhaps? I tinted mine w/ left over autozone tint.

hahaha (evil laugh with lighting in the background)

I tinted mine with 20% tint, dark enough to make em look good imo. In case I get tired of the tint its easy to remove, plus I didnt have to buy paint, take em apart or oder different ones.

I meant rear add ons that go on the sides of the rear bumper such as kuhans car:

Welcome and congrats. You don't type like a teenager, so that will get you far. I'd lay off the CF crap myself as well, as that screams "teenager car with crap I bought off of Ebay"
Get yourself some nice wheels, a good set of tires and some lowering springs, and just enjoy the car. Also, where is "Thousan Oaks"?
