Looking for some 370z information

Could you tell me which winter tires you would recommend? I'll refer back to this topic when winter gets closer.

My current plan for the winter is basically subway. I live uptown Toronto and work Downtown..Add in some snow and it'll take 2 hours to commute. Might as well subway.

Another question I would like to ask is:

What do you guys do to maintain your Z? Things that a beginner like me could learn or just do right away. Like wiping the engine clean perhaps with a damp cloth...Vacuum the car...Check tires, etc.

This is basically my very first car that I will be owning, so forgive my ignorant question.

minimal maintenance for the first little while. do a lot of research. this forum is the best tool we have.

100% get bumper and full hood clear bra ASAP. I cannot stress this enough specially because you will drive during the winter too.

opticoat is good too. research that and contact GaleForce from here if you want it done.

all these are prevention. you will be spending around 1k but trust me its worth it.

as for the tires, I run 18" wheels with 235 wide tires. you will need really wide spacers specially for the rears if you don't want it to look weird.

What's bumper and full hood clear bra? All I'm thinking about is a giant womens bra strapped to my car lol (I'm still new to cars and mods and stuff T_T)

It's a polyurethane paint protection film. Google "clear bra". Common brands are Scotchgard, VenturShield, Xpel. They're applied professionally, will probably cost about $1000 US equiv. I had it applied on my 2014 Z for the first time, it's great. Bugs just wipe off with just a little waterless wash or Plexus. Great stuff, worth the money to me. I don't feel the need for full hood treatment. Lower third is where the action is.

Hi, Any place you recommend in GTA to get a Clear Bra done on Z?
Looking into that for my car too.
Thanks,
