Daytona, good so far.
So how did you get it to school? Most states have min driving age of 16. My bad, your sister rode with you, yes?

I didn't actually drive it to school, we were picking up textbooks over the summer and my mom and I took my car.And it didn't work on my pc either for some reason.

I should clarify, I was driving the car, the way I said it made it seem like I wasn't.

Sorry travlee, the picture is old, my brother and I already fixed the haze on my headlights and smoked the taillights.

sorry I'm trying to focus on two things at once, I meant I didn't want it to look like the duraflex bumper with the aero things on the side, it looks to extreme. As for the aerosync I looked into it but my paint is so old and faded I would have to get it color matched at a body shop.

a good shop will be able to ... but if they can't, don't do it until you can afford to do it right. i am going to be brutally honest here....

this is your first car, you are going to f*ck it up, trust me. you will say that you won't, but give it time.... everyone messes up their first car

I was wondering why someone was actually helping me and not just ranting about how a 350z is to much power for a kid.
