Intro - New from SoCal

Hello everyone!

So I've made a few posts, but I realized I never introduced myself.

I got my pearl white '17 Sport this past August. So far, I haven't gone super crazy with the mods (yet), but I have replaced the exhaust with Motordyne's Shockwave E370 (catback); I also tinted the windows and windshield (3M Crystalline all around, minus the hatch glass...that was tinted by the dealer).

I'm also in the process of updating my stereo (long-story short, shop 'A' installed a Pioneer deck, a crappy amp, some Focal speakers in doors and the rear, and a pair of JL W3 subs...sounds killer right? This shop didn't tune it well at all and that amp just plain sucks...should have listened to my gut instinct and gone with JL [or any known-brand] for the amp....Shop 'B' seems lightyears better and he'll be tuning and installing the JL amp and an Audison Bit Ten, hopefully).

Now that I look at it, I have spent a nice chunk on my Z (and that's not including the Volks that I have in the garage that I'm not sure if I want to go with)....I need help!

Hi, my name's Mike and I'm a Z-ahollic!

Big thank you to everyone for welcoming me to the community!

Just dropped a big bag 'o cash off at my audio guy, so I plan to be a Z driver for a good while (I'll do a review of the gear later on...a sneakpeak: the Wicked CAS corner sub box is awesome....maybe even wicked awesome!)
