Default Sold off my 06 and into 09

Over the past 2 years I've went from a Daytona Blue 05 that was murdered on the interested by some guy texting, into a MBP 06 which I sold off to one of my best friends down in Florida, and now I finally picked up a loaded 370z Touring Sport with Nav, lighted door sills, etc. I must say that I'm in love.

I lowered it yesterday with H&R springs. Tint, Motordyne, spacers or wheels, and a lip to come.

Comparison of new versus old. (yes I flipped my 06 image because i couldnt find a passenger side view on this PC)



Love the new lines. Took a lot of the roundness, almost TT'ish (I had a 225Q TT in the past) lines away and replaced them with sharp and aggressive.

Very nice -- congratulations. That was my original color choice when moving up from a Z33 to the Z34.

However, after being on the lot a few times looking around I fell in love with the Solid Red.

Thanks, I absolutely love it. Red was a tie in color choice but I was offered this as a great deal by a friend that needed out of it quick.

I just picked up a oem Nismo bumper, diffuser, and undertray that I'll be having painted and installed in the next week or two. I cant wait!

I know this sounds biased but I really wish Nissan kept Daytona Blue as a color choice. I have an '06 and to this day I still get compliments on the color (and the car). There's something about DB that just pops. It even seems to change hue depending on the time of day and amount of sunshine or lack thereof.

I loved the Daytona as well but everyone I know says after seeing this one in person they like the Monterey Blue more. It's very metallic and bright. I do like this color more but I'm still a huge fan of Daytona blue.

Treat it well Brandon! Ray loved this thing for sure. Can't wait to see what you do with it, though!

Nice upgrade OP. The 350Z still looks good compared to the 370Z

Nice to see the Nismo front end in that color. Looks great!

Were you the one on the 370 forums debating on keeping the bumper or going a different route? If so, must keep!

I like it, but I also like the Amuse.

Amuse is nice -- I was thinking about going that route eventually (although, it is a popular kit and many have it).

However, in your case... there aren't many out there rocking the Nismo front in MB.

true but I only know of 1 other MB 370 in the Indy area and it's a roadster. They are very rare around here and the MB seems to be like a unicorn. Before I bought this I never saw another MB in person, only the internet. So it will be rare no matter what I do

when you cant think of anything else to do, have the engine cover painted to match!

You should get some K&N drop in intakes and have your brakes painted the same color as your car.
