Smile New Owner :)

Sup guys, new owner here in Cali.

Sold my lifted truck about a month ago, and been wanting to pickup a Z for some time. Pulled the trigger last week, found a mint 07 with 17k miles on it

So far I've done tint, s2k antenna & replaced the stock muffler with a 80 series flowmaster.

Although i miss the hell out of my truck, i am in LOVE with this car. Couldn't be happier..my new garage queen.

Been stalking this site for some time now, and recently joined so figure i post up. Seems like there's quite a few educated Z enthusiasts around, I've learned a lot already and enjoy reading and viewing about others rides.

From this:



To this:

(pics taken this morning, claybar & wax'd last nite)















Yes, i am a picture *****.

Thanks, yea i don't think i could be any happier with another car. Super stoked to finally have the Z. The truck was great, although a weekend driver..the size got old.

Mods i'm hoping to get done in the near future:

Coilovers - Trying to decide which still
VMR V710 wheels - got my attention big time right now
Dual intake - either aem or injen, still need to look at what others are using

Other then that, i'm more then content with the car as is. The wify rocks a new civic, and my commuter is a corolla...so the Z is our new 'get away' car for the weekend adventures.

Yea the tint will probably grab some attention here where i'm at too, but with how much i'll be driving it i'm willing to take the chance. Our other cars are tinted just one notch lighter in the fronts and haven't had any issues. Gas tank hasn't been repainted as far as i'm aware, i think maybe just wierd angle? Got the car from original owner, and clean title too. But
