Default from a cobalt to a z!

Just upgraded from a cobalt to a 350z!

05 Touring with only 25,000 miles!
Came with a greddy evo 2 exhaust, cool air intake, unorthodox underdrive pullies, 3/8 plenum spacer, grounding kit, remote start, & navi

Added clear side markers & adjustable rear camber arms

Putting on gf210 lowering springs tomorrow and getting my windows darker tuesday!

Thinking about getting a stock rear bumper & getting rid of this wing, too.

+1 It's a good looking Z but that bumper looks in my opinion.

Looks good, good starting platform. If it was up to me, I would ditch the rear bumper, wing, and especially the wheels.

congrats on the upgrade.

yah i'm looking for a stock rear bumper. the wheels aren't my favorite. but im thinking of either color matching them or painting them black. i like dish wheels so they're good enough for right now.

just lowered it. now i like my car a little more

Haha I upgraded from an 06 Supercharged Cobalt to my 06 Z.

I'll admit I miss the Cobalt sometimes (mostly because I really enjoyed boost) but I would NEVER go back. Being 6 foot 4 the Cobalt was the worst car, its one of those cars where you can put the seat far enough back but then you can't reach to steering wheel. So my main reason for getting rid of it was I didn't fit comfortably.

yah i know! i was always the person to make fun of wings--i hate them! but when i bought this car it had one, so i'm trying to find someone to switch hatches with instead of paying to have the holes filled and the hatch painted.
