Default New 350Z owner - Solar Orange!

Hey all-

Just purchased a Solar Orange 350Z. Sold a 02 WRX that I was the original owner of. I had turned it into a rally car in its later years, but I wanted to get back into a sports car instead of daily driving a truck/tow vehicle.

So far I have to say that this was an incredible choice; I love every aspect of this car. I was thinking of tinting the glass and smoking the lights/reflectors, but I might wait due to how much I like the stock trim.

Its the Touring addition with the Bose sound system, but I already ordered the parts to wire in an auxiliary input which goes in Friday. I'll probly start a build thread now just because I know I wont be able to keep my hands off it!

Some crappy iPhone pics in bad lighting:

Haha, half the people I showed that pic to said the same thing. I noticed as well and have not made that mistake again. Fortunately, that curb is only 2'' off the ground.

Forgot to add the best part: picked it up with only 5,450 miles on it ftw. Its as if it is brand new despite being 5 years old.
