Default 12 Year wait is over!!

First saw the 350z at the Baltimore car show in 2002 and wanted one ever since. Im picking up my first Z this week. 06 Base, black. The wait is finally over. So much for left over money in the budget

Nope, only thing different about the car is the paint. Guy Im buying it from had it painted like corvette black. Has a small flake in it. Getting the paint code tomorrow. Hes done what I think is most of the normal wear issues at 75k miles. Brakes, clutch, interior parts, belts, replaced some sord of exhaust part. Forgot what he said. And no other mods prior to him. It seems I may need to replace the Tire PS. Maryland wont pass its inspection with any lights on, on the cluster. But for 8 grand Im tickled pink.

Nice looking z!
I can't really tell a difference between that paint and the Super Black or Magnetic Black colors that came on the z, it looks good though.

Your Z senses must have been tickeling you. I dropped it off yesterday. Was supposed to pick it up today, but when I got there dude was 1500 gritting it. So maybe tomorrow

Ya, its really hard to see it. You have to get real close and the sun has to be out. Its very subtle. but looks really good when you can see it

hope she looks beautiful!

He was wet sanding it with 1500 (whole car)??? Ballsy.. considering our paints are very thin and soft. Hope you have some clear left.
