My 370Z is a 2009 Pearl White Base w/the Sports Package. My previous car was a 07 Civic SI which I traded in for the Z. The Z was purchased at Sutherlin Nissan in Ft.myers, FL, which is a great dealership with excellent customer service. I'm on this site pretty much everyday, and plan on modding my car alittle bit at a time, and will post plenty of pics/reviews as I go. With my ultimate goal being to go with a Stg.1 GTM supercharger + GT-R manifold + the VVEL tune.

Gotta start somewhere.

My first "mod" would have to be my $5 sunshade I purchased to protect the interior lol

Then I upgraded my headunit to a Kenwood DNX6140 with rearview back up camera and Ipod adapter; also installed my homelink auto dimming mirror

Then installed an AMS short shifter.

Got my custom Z mount for my radar detector and invisicord for a clean install

Got touring edition pedals installed

Then upgraded my ghetto sunshade to a covercraft custom fit version.

Proclip mounts for my phone.

Stillen license plate holder for when I move back to Cali!

Recently I installed a Stillen gen 3 intake. My first real performance mod.

Take your time and have fun modding!

I'm going to knock 2 out this week and order the F.I. 18" cf exhaust + bluebat taillight tint

NewYorkJon34 · 10-03-2009, 08:36 PM

I'm planing a Supercharger build, probably Stillen because I want more power in the lower rpms. Edit: thank god I never went with the stillen kit

sloterg · 10-03-2009, 09:03 PM

awesome.. goodluck with that..

Singularity · 10-03-2009, 09:10 PM

Cool stuff man! I have an '07 Si, probably making the jump to a Z in a year or so.

CrownR426 · 10-04-2009, 04:58 PM

Were you orginally from nyc?
Post some pics!

NewYorkJon34 · 10-04-2009, 09:03 PM

Pictures are up

nogoodname · 10-04-2009, 09:06 PM

get someone to install the overlays............ pain in the bum to install by urself

NewYorkJon34 · 10-04-2009, 09:16 PM

When I graduated Culinary school, one of my instructors happened to be a mechanic and own his own shop with 2 lifts. He used to hook me up on installs. He is the only person I would trust to touch any of my cars. Plus I have already had him install taillight tint on my previous 2007 Civic SI and it came out perfect, so this car should not be a big deal for him

nogoodname · 10-04-2009, 09:18 PM

so, take lots of pics and make a D.I.Y on how to install things

NewYorkJon34 · 10-04-2009, 09:23 PM

I def will, Im just waiting for BlueBat to respond to my e-mail so I could buy them. I'd like to get them in this week to have it installed ASAP.

nogoodname · 10-04-2009, 09:28 PM

which ones did you go with???

i saw the 6/10's and they are too light of a shade..........

like me and another G got heavy tinted tails... another G shows up and says "check my overlays".... i was like "what overlays"..... then we all look at my G

NewYorkJon34 · 10-04-2009, 09:39 PM

I was thinking of actually getting the 6/10's, they don't look "that" light from Bluebat's pictures on this site. I thought it would look good on my Pearl White Z, unless you have a suggestion on alittle bit darker shade.
