Alright, so after many many years, many deployments, many moves around the country, and generally an extremely stressed existence, I decided to pull the trigger on a 350Z; something I have been wanting to do for an extremely long time. So, while deployed to Afghanistan (mind you, still technically deployed, just home on vacation for a couple weeks, then it's back over) I decided to go ahead and purchase an 04 Enthusiast with 31K miles. I of course, being a somewhat intelligent (self-proclaimed mind you) individual I will do my best to not make many of the mistakes I see people do on this forum, and eventually get flamed for.

ON TO THE CAR! It was a stock Z to start so of course, me being the person I am couldn't allow that to happen for much longer. So, while overseas I decided to start doing the mods. Where she sits now...

Wheels and Rims came with the car

Stuff I've done-

Amuse Rep Front Bumper/Side Skirts
Chargespeed Rep Rear Bumper with CF Diffuser
Nvidia Gemini Exhaust
Custom leather throughout the interior

----I'm an audiophile, I know all you track purists are like "OMG, why add weight to the car etc etc." Simple answer? It's my car, my money, and I really have no intention of taking it to the track. Additionally, with the TT setup I plan on running....600-700 RWHP. I don't think the extra weight (about 70 pounds altogether) will come into play that much ------

Pioneer Z130BT (nav, blutetooth, bells, whistles, BJ machine etc)
JL Audio Slash V1/1000 AMP
10" Kicker Solo-Baric L7 Subs Wrapped in Custom leather, custom made box
MB Quarts peripherals throughout the cab.

Pictures! I'll post more pics of the interior tomorrow when I get a chance, first day of being back and all, I have been busy. We can go higher-res but I figure this will do for now....



















Thanks for looking, I've been lurking on this site for the better part of a year, and have learned alot, so hopefully in the future I'll be able to contribute some as well. Thanks for all the knowledge in advance!

 

Pictures of sub!

 

^
+ pictures of the entire car!
Looks nice so far, subbed for the other pictures.

 

Cmon bro...

 

Nice pics OP, only thing I don't like is your tail lights but everything else looks good

 

Well done. Very classy.

 

Just a thought...Get rid of all the extra Zs.

 

Congrats on all the hard work(and $$$)you have put in your Z.
It looks pretty spotless.
Just my opinion...don't like the tailights.The led Z looks cheesy to me.
Since you have not given a full shot of your car(side),I really can't tell
the overall look of your rims.Don't know if the chrome/polished hub treatment
works for me.Think the wheels would be better without it.
Props on your front&rear parts!

 

you should paint the grill black or remove it completely. other than that the car looks good.

 

lol

 

At the very least you're open to suggestions, right?

 

Well at least you have photography to fall back on.

 

What kind of rims are those?

 

Car looks good,welcome and congrats...

 

Thanks for the replies, criticism, and acknowledgments alike. Couple things. One, yup, I hate the tail lights as well, they will be gone soon (keep in mind I bought this car used, originally it had a Greddy body kit, that I absolutely hated, the ASA JH8 wheels, and the tailights, slowly but surely it's all going away. Suppose I should have made that clear in the original post, it wasn't entirely stock)

The grill will be gone as soon as the TT setup goes on, till then, it'll stay. Anyways, as requested here's more interior pics, unfortunately, my rear hatch lifters went out (super awesome btw) so it's difficult to get any kind of good pictures of the sub, one will have to do for now. I'll post more when I can think of some better angles and lighting situations to highlight it. Basically, the coloring of the leather is the exact same as the seats, arm rest, shifter etc.

I got some decent pictures of the placement of the amp, and really like the positioning overall. Anyways, on to the pics.
















Fixed the emblems on the back, original wasn't what I wanted

Front emblem will be gone tomorrow, I never wanted that one either. Body shop apparentely didn't get the message

 

I agree on the grille.Paint it black or remove.Or,install some better grade grille material.I just don't get it.most of the body parts even from higher priced quality guys have these cheap *** aluminum grilles.There is better stuff available,but they ruin the pieces by using this low grade material.Had a similar situation with a rear diffuser from Shine.The piece was fantastic CF.
However,they used this hardware store material for the grille.I had to redo with some S/S material I bought online before I could install.

 

welcome, your z looks pretty good

 

Another full body photo...

 

You just need to fix the steering wheel to run that rear emblem.

 

I personally love how it's done.
