Default Just bought my Z! : )

Hi! I'm 29, of the female variety, and in NC. I've always loved the 350Zs and, of late, apparently found myself with an excess of cash and so I bought one off craigslist. It's an 03 Enthusiast and needs a bit of help to get in top shape again, but it'll get there. : )

I like what I've seen of this forum so far, lots of good info.

It doesn't look that bad. Some new wheels, lowering springs, sway bars, Vertex front bumper, and some strategically placed carbon fiber pieces will fix that car right up.

Yeppers, wheels are a given and tires and a new bumper. New paint, carbon fiber hood, you know, just some little things here and there. Lol

Welcome to the site. Make sure you check out the regional forum if you are interested in meeting fellow Z enthusiasts. The Triangle region should have plenty of Z owners.

Thanks, but get up close and it needs to be prepped and repainted, scrapes and a bit of rust here and there.

One of the previous owners cut up parts of the inside for some bad speaker work and some interior trim pieces are missing. The engine needs to be replaced and the wheels are just spray painted.

It's a project, but one that hopefully won't take too long... guess that depends on having the funds available! lol

You wouldn't happen to be the girl that was asking me about my Z at Chickfila in Cary last August/September? Stopped me and asked me about aftermarket wheels, bodykits, etc. and we talked for like 45 minutes or more. She said she was going to keep her eye out for a good deal. I think that I even gave her the my350z.com website. She was too young and cute to be interested in an old guy like me, so I knew she was genuinely interested in the cars.

Congrats & welcome regardless, but if it's you, that's pretty cool.
