Hi everyone, I just picked up my car yesterday (7.5.2012) and had to drive 4 hours home (good man-vehicle bonding time) but I was too tired to take pics last night. So, she's a little dirty seeing how i drove 200+ miles and I didn't want to wash her when it was 110 degrees outside today. There will be more pics to come. Hopefully a photoshoot with my dad's 240Z soon. Thanks for looking.

Love the color :) enjoy her... Looking forward to seeing the progress pictures !

Nice. What's the first mod??

Nice car buddy! Congrats

I'm thinking possibly some window tint. Maybe 35% or 20% all around, in MI you are not supposed to have any on the front drivers/passengers windows. I also like the Formula 1 style 3rd brake light. Since I work at Gentex, I'm going to install a RCD (Rear Camera Display) mirror right away, seeing how rear visibility is limited in the Z.

Took the 240 for its first journey, about 20 miles.

"Classic" pictures!.....

Thanks man, my father and myself have been restoring the 240 for something like 10 years now (slow progress). We ended up going with the 2007 350Z Solar Orange paint, and I think it turned out great.

Congratulations on the purchase! :tup: any plans on modding soon? :P

I will probably wait until winter time to start modding. Then the car can be offline for as long as i need it to be. Possibly will take it for some window tint soon though, either 35% or 20%.

Started installing an aftermarket subwoofer. Here are some pics.

I love that frost interior on the pearl white. Wish I had it.

It does look amazing, but it gets really dirty lol.

Got the LC2i and wire all hooked up to a mock amp and sub, sorry about the quality of the sub and amp, they are all i had laying around until my new stuff arrives this week.

A teaser photo, the panels arent actually in, just sitting there, I wanted to check fitment

Well, ended up having to send back the amp, it was a dud, and i bought a RF p400-1 instead, tested @ 537W RMS at 2 ohms. It is really loud, i need to adjust the gain lol.
