1. Coilovers
2. Authentic wheels with quality tires

That would have you off to a better start than 95% of people who start messing with their Z.

hmm i think pretty her up a bit. I like the 19 inch varrstoen wheels or I might just get intakes for now while I save up for those. No real pep from it but it helps with throttle response and sound. plus it breaths more when combined with an exhaust

Congrats on the new Z. Love the color. Your first very cheap mod should be to change the side markers to either black or clear. I personally just plasti dipped them since nobody will notice (this was the only thing i plasti dipped)

You paid $21.9K for a Base '07!?! I think the dealer took advantage of you and your financial situation and screwed you royally on price...As long as your happy though. Congrats on the HR!

yea i think i got over charged by around $2000. I think 17k private and 19 dealer is a fair price. maybe it wasnt such a bad deal because that 21 k include tax and their high a$$ dealer fee of like 600. Really did not feel like waiting another 3-6 months for one. Bank wouldn't finance me being so young even with good credit and a good amount of money in my account. My credit history is only a year so yup. Definitely was not about to let this get sold. I would more than likely have to go to another state to get one. Then ship it back. So it would still come out around the same money. Plus a day before that I was buying a red Hr out of state and it got sold. The process of hiring prepurchase inspection and everything took too long.

Great looking Z man.

Congratulations!!

Its nice to get one after wanting one for so long, good for you, be careful to keep it on the road and of those pesky poles.
I think it looks great now with he black rims and it looks like you lowered it, I love the look but I am afraid to lower mine, just not ready I guess, anyway looking good bro, you said your a sr isnt school about to get out in 2 months? its almost over bro! lol glad to see your still driving the car.

$21900 is a lot for that car but if your happy and you can afford it then who cares, it works for you right?

I just bought my 07 with 36k miles on it for 13k$ cash but I got lucky and when you dont need to finance you can get better deals, many around for 15k$
Anyway as I said it makes no difference, you got it, and with a payment you are comfortable with so enjoy the car man!!

to be your age and have a Z while finishing school would be awesome, lol look out ladies!
Of course get one of those ladies pregnant and that Z will be the first thing to go, so protect yourself, wear a clear latex bra yourself, lol.

When I was 21 I had 3 kids and worked two jobs to feed them so no Z's for me, except the sleeping kind from exhaustion.

I gave up my 75 Camaro lt to get a family car, and bought a citation, I wanna say a 82? lol followed by an 89 Taurus and then some new Broncos.

It would be many years before I would get a Harley, and then eventually a few fun cars, i got my Z at 45 yrs old so your doing better than me, just dont get anyone pregnant and maybe you can keep it for a few years.

Lump
