Default My Afghanistan present

I bought my first sports car as a present for making home alive from Afghanistan. I bought a 2006 350z grand touring roadster. I over paid and it is stock for now. Can't afford much as far as mods if any one have a few cheaper mod ideas I would like that.

Great purchase and welcome to the forum! On a side note though, thats not a Grand Touring ZR... If it was they'd have Brembo's, unless someone at the dealership took them off.

Congrats OP, good looking ZR you got there. For cheap mods, I suggest getting wheel spacers.
