Default New 08 Base Owner w/ Poll!

Hello all, I was lucky enough to pick up this 08 350Z base w/ 35,600 miles about a month ago. In the past month, I've put about 1500 miles on her. Aside from a blown tire (i ran over a 2x4 on the freeway) and failing rear wheel bearing, everything has been great. I'll hopefully get that issue resolved this weekend though.

It came lightly modded by the previous owner and from what I can tell it has Nismo exhaust, JWT Popchargers, G35 spoiler, and carbon fiber diffuser. I hate the G35 spoiler, so if any silver Z's want to swap hatches please shoot me a PM.

Enjoy the pics!

Night I purchased the car. Pin stripe needs to go!





I don't know what the previous owner did to the tails but they are no longer have the polished/smooth look. Hopefully I can buff these back to original condition.



If you look closely at the last picture, you can see the left tip is dented (by previous owner). Going to have new tips welded on this weekend. Can't decide which one I like more though. What do you guys think?

Left tip or Right tip!

Welcome and congratulations. I have seen the pinstripe done higher above the door handle.

Thank you! A 5ft tall girl drives the Jeep so she doesn't need too much room to get in and out.

Lol, want to trade hatches? JK an thanks!



Well a buddy and I replaced the wheel bearing on the driver rear this weekend and it looks like it's already been replaced once before? How often are you guys doing wheel bearings in these cars? I'm only at 37K miles. If it goes out again I'm just going to replace the hub that it sits inside also.

I bought a Silver 08 base model with 29k on the clock in August. It always makes me smile when I drive it.
