Default My New 350z

Hey whats up guys/girls. Well I think its that time to actually make one of these, been here since 2004 with my first 350 but i had to let her go for some personal reasons but this year, i finally got another one woot wooot

Let me know what you guys think and/or any recommendations for mods. Dropping the car and getting some rims are in the works. Thinking of getting some Flat black rims. 18x9 in the front and 18x9.5 in the back or even 18x10. With a good offset ofcourse.

Here she is...

First week after the purchase :



Then decided to get the roof vinyl(looks great IMO)



My buddy gave me his old exhaust, RSR GT2; sounds great.



Got a CF OEM Hood from someone local, had to remove the Nismo sticker




Found an amazing deal on an AMP, Subwoofer and the Zenclosure



The Blue led light is my flash light, nothing in the car lol


Then my recent install is my radio and the plenio gps system(in the cubby), hacked with the new software.




Thanks for looking and let me know what you guys think. Update: I removed the eyelids already and the car looks better.

to each his own but Im not a fan of eyelids, cf or not. I do however, think your car would look nice with the headlight housings painted black. I like your interior btw

Ok update:

The People: 5 Vs Eyelids: 0 lol

So question, what is the best way to remove the adhesive from the headlights without damaging them? I heard goo gone is bad for plastics so i dont want to ruin the headlights.

My honest opinion:

1.) I love the clean interior!
2.) I strongly dislike the eyelids!
3.) The exhuast may sound good, deep, and have no rice should, but it looks like the epitome of rice. Get an HKS knockoff for $300, will look and sound far far better!
4.) Audio set up is nice.
5.) Vinyl roof is okay.
6.) CF hook looks completely out of place as there are no other CF accents on the exterior of the Z.
7.) Go 18x9.5 F and 18x10.5 R

Just my opinion brother, your car is your car. Just keep her clean!!!

Thanks for your opinion bro, i'll take all the feedback i can get. The eyelids are for sure being removed after all the dislikes it got lol. The exhaust itself sounds amazing, the look of it..i would have gotten something else BUT..i'm not going to complain about a free exhaust lol. The CF hood wasn't in my plans but i found a good deal locally and i couldnt pass it up, whenever i get more money, i'll probably get a CF hatch, maybe the Asuka one but we'll see

Thanks again dude and i'll be posting up update pics, soon will be the eyelids removed and having my buddy Kno do the headlight mod.(painting them back)

You haven't wasted any time with number 2. Hope you have a longer stint with number 2, than you may have done with number 1.
