Default From an 04 5AT to an 08 6MT :) FINALLY!

just got back home after a 5 1/2 hr drive to maryland and 5 1/2 hr drive back to get my 2008 350z. It has 39,000 miles and is literally flawless. as some of you know, i had a 2004 350z and it was automatic, got boring pretty quick, so i sold it and upgraded to the HR

*I'll be updating this thread with new mods/info, so i can look back on it one day

the ride home was literally the best feeling in the world.. first time i dropped it into 3rd i fell in love all over again. i was looking at other cars such as the Genesis coupe, but i love the Z too much, plus i know a lot about it already. anyways, here are the pics.. and some pics of my old 04.

The new one
