Default Found a real gem of a 350!

So happy! Been wanting this car forever!

2007 M6 Touring. 44k California miles. New tires. Handles like a dream, but you already know that! I honestly think there's nothing I really WANT to do to it. Not a body kit. Not a performance upgrade. Not a darn thing!

Did I mention how happy I am? Because OMG so happy!

Welcome, clean love it. Enjoy and be happy.

I think the body lines of the stock Z are perfect. Maybe get rid of the car max front tag and if your state doesn't require a plate up front that bracket too LOL.

So many people immediately try to ruin their car.


BTW: you are my UN-Officially sanctioned winner of BEST 1st/introductory post of the week. Thanks for giving the forum a boost.

I wish I could dithch the front place. Law of the land is that if there is a bracket from the factory you HAVE to use the front plate. Its not even fully registered yet, though. So eventually it will be fully de-carmaxed.

It's not enforced much.

Especially if you take the car to a body shop and have the holes filled in and painted over.

No bracket, or mounting holes for a bracket, no problem.

That seems like a lot of work... Though the body shop fill and paint thing might just be the ticket. I happen to know a guy who knows a guy who went to school with a guy...

Anthony , congrats on the car once again. I know these cars inside and out, if you have any questions just PM me or contact me on Facebook. I would say call, but only really accessible via IPhone .

Small buttons from Home Depot, lowes or ace hardwere . They fit the holes really well and a sharpie will turn them black, my wife's Juke came drilled and you can hardly tell. Kam probably knows exactly what to look for.

You know... The right size flat top buttons. Some color matching. No one would even notice. First weekend project scheduled!

Well done. I remember the day I drove off with the Z. It's been among my most reliable cars.

+1 The 350z brand new never came with front plate brackets. So technically yours didn't either, at least not from the factory.
