Since everyones doing it these days, figured I would try my hand at it

So, I picked up the car Saturday, August 20th. Silver, 2011, automatic, with Touring, Sport, and Nav packages. That day, within an hour of getting it home, I did my first mod: hardwired my Paspport 9500i radar detector.

Day1:

Day 9:
Got my short tail exhaust pipes in the mail (thanks BAHUMAT2JZ)

Day 10:
Got the bad boys installed. Car already sounds meaner

Congrats on the purchase of a 370Z. I have not kept up with the changes to the 10, 11 models, but see Nissan changed the radio/cd player and the a/c heating controls.

Passport h/w looks clean.

Sound clips of the exhuast tip coming soon?

Whats next on your list?

Still have the paper tags and already modding!

It's a great start. What's next?
