Hello From Germany!
Hello,
First off wanna say thanks for having me. I'm new to the Nissan family and 350z community. I just purchased a 2004 roadster touring prior to deploying. I cant wait to get back and continue to work on it. Im used to working on mustangs so this is a completely different car to me. I look forward to meeting yall and hopefully providing giving/getting assistance. When I bought the car the springs were done so I installed the factory ones and replaced the shocks till I get some Eibach springs. The exhaust is pretty rusted up from the weather here in Germany so Im looking at Borla or HKS. Im thinking of keeping the rims, however, they are only 18x9. I'm thinking of taking off the stickers? Heres my ride so far:
Konig Lace rims
Takeda CAI
Eibach sway kit
Nismo exhaust(rusted when bought the car)
I painted the handles black and I have ordered black headlights, smoked reflectores and rear turn signals along with LED tail lights. Now I just gotta wait 6 more months to get back to put them on lol. Any advice would be awesome. I'm a soldier so I can handle sarcasm, no worries. Thanks in advance.

Welcome!
Its most interesting to get a post from someone in Germany.
I'm sure you can't wait to get back home!
You asked for input.Here's mine...
The roadster from a design standpoint and what "works" is limited compared to
the coupe.To begin with,the wheels now on your Z just don't work.They cheapen
the look of your car.I'd sell e'm
and start over.19's of your choice would look better.A wheel with a sunken lip with
proper offsets,like 20 front,25 rear would be best.Spacers may be needed depending
on the wheel choice and the look you want.PLEASE take off the sticker/decals!
Back to the wheels,if you like a similar design to what you have,I'd suggest
a mesh design with polished lips.You could do a black wheel as long as the lips are polished.
