Default New owner, 2004 350z, Socal

2004 black, I think touring? 6spd manual with black leather. Bought the car used around April this year. I have been slowly refreshing it and upgrading it.

Replaced:
Steering wheel
Lower control arm bushings
Front knuckle lower ball joints
BOSE crap changed out for Boston components and an Infinity Basslink
Front adjustable a-arms
Rear adjustable toe/camber arms
Bilstein PSS9 coilovers
Work Emotion XC8 refinished, 18x9.5 +20 with 265/35 on all four
Debadged 350z emblem, removed rear wiper and mini antenna

Love the car so far. Sorry for the dirty pics.

Nice Z!
Wheels are a great match..really like the dark "graphite" color.
Looks so much better than the usual black rims.The finish highlights
the detail of your wheels.

I had it lower, the Bilsteins don't like to be low. It drives much better at this height. It's actually lower than stock, the tires OD are just a little less than stock so it looks higher than it is. I might try and drop it a half inch or so more, but it's not a priority. I don't need spacers, the wheels are flush with the fenders @ -1.5 camber on all 4. I don't want more camber than that for daily driving.

Thanks! I had them refinished with a custom color by "Legion Fabrication" who I believe are forum sponsors? I will black or clear my side markers and then finish the headlights in a similar graphite color eventually.

Welcome! Great look.

Remove the rear wiper sprayer on top of the back window to complete the rear wiper delete mod. It will clean up the rear hatch even more.

Keep it clean and simple.

Welcome! Good looking Z! You've done more right since April than most do their entire ownership!



Now, any more pix of the assistant photographer in the 1st pic? Can't tell if woman, or blurred out pic of Bigfoot
