Default Finally got My Dream Z

As a kid I have always wanted to be able to buy My dream 350z. Due to a few good decision and a lot of hard work I was able to buy my car. 2003 350z Enthusiast 6MT LeMans Sunset with 36,xxx miles. The car is a one owner Z completely stock and In excellent shape inside and out. Now back to this being a dream car since I was a kid at about the age 11 or 12 my parents bought me a toy not just any toy but a Lemans Sunset 350Z Xmod. I fell in love with this thing immediately and was dedicated to owning a full size Z and after 10+ years my dream has com true.

Good story.
Nice z, keep it that way, it's getting hard to find unmolested examples like that.

Well I installed a black diamond mesh grille in my z due to the giant orange holes in the stock one from the prev owner. The mesh grills when I was looking to buy are either held in with 3-5 zipties or 2-4 tabs drilled in.

This is a pretty cool story and reminded me of my first experience with the Z. I was 17 or 18 and a guy I worked with had a PPW DE and took me for a ride. He did one tiny right hand drift for a split second and it felt like days to me! I didn't think I'd ever afford one... now I have an 08 PPW

Welcome to the forum, and good job getting such low miles! Any mods in mind?

Not 100% sure where I want to go with the car. I am just really wanting to put a front lip and maybe some wheel spacers to give a wider stance to make the car feel more like my own lol. But I really like have a nice stock car for now so idk yet.

Well the old owner of my Z called today and said he found some stuff he thinks I may want lol. So I drove back to where I bought her and was amazed. He must have really loved this car a lot. I would say I bought this car from the right type of person.
