Smile New 350z owner Hawaii.

I have been at this place called PTA for the last month but i have been searching for a 350z cause it's my dream car ever since 2004. My friend had one back in 2004 a 03 0range 350z and when i set my eyes on it i was drawn in. As of today for the past 5 hours i finally have an 04 i think leman's sunset Z touring. It's literally a dream come true. I sometimes wish i was married since i'm in the marine corp, just so i can have a garage =P. 50,823 miles for 12,000. I think it's a steal. All stock cept for the tire's/rims (pardon my noobish i'm still trying to learn automotives) lol. Anyways i'm looking forward to learning from this sight and get "goodies" in it. lol

Welcome!
That color goes well in Hawaii!
By looking at the pic,it appears that the car is riding a bit high in the rear.
Could be camera angle.More than likely(if its on a car lot)empty gas fuel tank.
Just my opinion,but EVERY Z owner has an objective on the "first things" they would do when they buy their car.Thats just the way it is.Not objective but,subjective.
To lower the car may be good for many.Some guys its a tint.Some(which I have a hard time understanding)is to redo the sound system.
I suggest you drive your Z for awhile.Enjoy it.While your learning the car,get a plan together on mods you may want to do.
Lowering(the right way)is not cheap.Also,you may in the future want to add body parts/lips/skirts,the height of your ride will be a factor in getting around.For the life
of me,cannot understand guys that ride around with 2x4's so they can lift their car
to prevent damage.The Z is meant to be driven.If your objective is to do car shows
and to just cruise around lookin good,drop that sucker.
Enjoy your ride.
You did good!

Aye thanks everyone! i drove around today like literally wasted almost a full tank of gas 60 dollars worth i think D: haha

Aye i'm thinking of doing the tint first cause it gets pretty hot expecially with the leather seats. And i was thinking of lowering it cause it'll look better but one, too many bumps around and the roads kinda do suck here LOL. I bought it off a really good dude here. I'm thinking of doing the sound system though too cause well the sound system is nice but i think there is something wrong with the wiring of the back left subwoofer. it sometimes goes out then runs again.
