Default New Owner of 04' Z

Hey Guy's just got my 350z when i got back from Afghan 3 Months ago. It's my baby and I like how the 350Z crowd people are helpful. Look forward to helping and learning from you guys as much as possible. So far i have painted the inside headliner black(Fabric Spray Paint... wouldn't recommend made it rough but looks good compared to the stock tan color lol), put on lambo doors, colored brake calipers green, new spark plugs(NGK Laser Platinum), and put in halo/led headlights.

P.S. forgot to mention im in Jacksonville NC, PCS'ing(moving) to 29 Palms Cali in 2 months =/

Congrats and welcome. First of all THANK YOU and I am glad you've returned home safely.
You will experience alot of negative input about the mods you had so far put on your car. From what I've seen and know, this community HATES and dissaproves of two main things:
1)Lambo doors
2) Painted brake calipers

ALL it really matters is what you like, because It is YOUR car.

Ah well first off thank you, second i hate the lambo doors to be honest (had to get them re-tighten 3 times.... long story short i don't even use them as lambo doors anymore and for the calipers there was rust on them that made the rims looks horrible so i wanted to clean them off and i defiantly didn't want to go with the all famous red like everyone else does.)

Welcome back!
Gotta be honest.
Don't like your car.But,its yours...gotta live with it.
IMO,the lambo doors just don't work on a stock looking Z.
If you are gonna keep e'm on,better get a body kit to match this aggressive style mod.
Same goes for the OEM 17" RIMS.Got to get aggressive.
Green calipers?Where did that come from?GREEN?

All in all,(again,my opinion)looks like you are shooting yourself in the foot with every mod you do.If you had to do it over again,would have been good to write a plan on what you want the overall car to look like.
Design sure is not one of your strong points.
Time to do some damage control!

I guess this is one of those times it's better to not say anything at all. Congrats on the car though.

Thanks for serving and don't listen to these guys. If every did all the cars would look the same. Do what you like and if you are happy who cares! Once again thank you for your service.
