Talking Brand new Z Owner in Annapolis, Maryland

Hey all,

I just entered into the world of Z. Just upgraded from mommy's CR-V. This is my first car(That I bought, 21 fresh out of college) and I couldn't be any more stoked. I love the thing. Quick and nimble, just the way I like it.

If there's anyone around the Annapolis area who would love to meet up some time and cruise, hit me up.

yeah i rattle canned mine too, the previous owner sprayed wheel cleaner or something on them when they were hot so it bubbled the clear coat.. drove me crazy. i think wheels were the 3rd thing i got. i did intakes, springs, wheels, exhaust, high flow cats, camber kits, replaced springs to go lower, swapped cats for ART pipes, changed intakes (3rd set), sway bars... like i said, once it starts it never stops

Mine's an 04 Enthusiast with 67k miles now. I put 3k on within the first month. I plan on buying an intake within the month. Right now I'm replacing the stock headlights/tail lights.

not bad sir, i would recommend 06+ oem headlights and tailights, but that i just my opinion. remember, you have to get the air out faster before you get it in faster.......

Welcome to the forum, and I hope you continue to enjoy your Z. Can't believe just how bright those wheels are though, I bet they burn retina's in the sunlight.

Not bad, although the wheels are not my cup of tea. How many cans of plastidip did you use?

Less than a quarter for the hood, and the wheels I used about 2 and a half.
