Default New 350Z owner in Knoxville, TN

Hello,

I bought a low mileage (150k ) 350Z at an auction last weekend. So far I love the car, but there are several things I'm going to be working on. Ultimately, I want to get it back to near-stock, replacing all the parts that are real worn or not installed well.

I'll be replacing most of the interior over the next few months, and this weekend I'm changing out all the fluids. There is a horribly installed ST-800 keyless system that I will be gutting as well.

PICS:

Welcome!
Does look a bit worn...
Been recently repainted?
Many replacement parts available.
May be better to just buy some new seats on e-bay?
Depending what you need,Z-1 Motorsports in Atlanta is
a great source for new&used parts.
Good luck on the project!

150k miles isn't low mileage!

I don't think it's been repainted. There are a lot of small chips/dings on the body, but they are hardly noticeable.

I'm thinking leatherseats.com for the seats, but I'm not sure about the color yet.

Thanks for the vendor plug, I will check them out!

Lol wrong section bro. That doesn't look like a 2009+ 370z. But in another note, get some sparco (blue) seats. ... because racecar

Welcome and congrats!

I see what you mean by wanting to replace some interior parts. I have done the same with my shifter and will be reupholstering my seats at some point as well (driver seat starting to wear). Having new/like new interior/exterior always makes it more enjoyable. Then things will stay clean/new as long as the upkeep is there.
