Hey everyone, I've been a member here for years mainly browsing classifieds etc. I just closed the deal on a 2003 350Z this morning and am pretty excited. It will actually be my wifes daily driver. It does need both door window motors replaced which I'm aware is a common problem. That and the headlights are somewhat yellow so I'll be replacing those. Other than that its a nice 69k mile automatic Z. Dark gray in color. Not sure what the official color name is. Anyway, I'm glad to be here and learn some stuff about these cars. I'm new to Z's but not forums. My weekend car is a 2008 Shelby GT500 and I've got over 5,000 posts on svtperformance.com. Just sayin hi

If you change out the headlights, go with 06+. I'm not a fan of mustangs, but that's a sick ride!!!

Welcome to the forum

Thanks. Are the 06 more expensive? I bought the Z from a guy in Rockville, MD.

Welcome, nice mustang

The color is silverstone. The 06 headlights are significantly more expensive. I'm actually selling a set of headlights soon, you can PM me if you're interested (they're in great shape).

There's also a DIY guide to fixing the window motors here if you want to save about $400 too.

Hope your wife enjoys here daily.

Yours ain't bad either.

How do you cope with speed bumps and steep driveways?

Thanks everyone. I'm sure she'll love. The GT500 isn't my daily. I have a Subaru Impreza or a Hummer for that. However, the GT500 in on air so ride height is adjustable at the touch of a switch.
