Default New owner of my dream car


Just thought I post about purchasing the car I've longed for since I got a diecast 350z for a Christmas gift when I was about 8. I am 19 now and just recently purchased a 2006 Pearl White 350z Touring 6MT. The car has 84k miles and I couldn't be happier with it! The car is currently sitting on 20 inch rims and Tanabe springs, I am considering replacing the springs with coilovers and getting 18 inch rims instead to give it a lower more track oriented look. Any thoughts or comments feel free new to site and looking forward to talking to some fellow enthusiasts!

Beautiful find and color bruh!
6MT or nah?
Find some lightweight 18/19" wheels to swap with those heavy cast 20s...great place to start.

I'd go with a different color...black is a little dull for that white.
A nice gloss gunmetal or gold makes it pop very nicely.
Also, Rota is rather cheap I'd look for a little more quality...popular choice is Enkei RPF1 for the quality and lightweight.

Nice looking z. Will definitely look better with some 18's. 20's are just too much imo on a 350z.
