Default New Z Owner. Greetings!

Greetings everyone!

Always been an admirer of the Z since 2002, so I've finally joined the cool people's club . Only took me 14 yrs. It was surprisingly rare to find a 2016 White Manual Sports Tech Z within 100 miles from me.

For me, the Z symbolizes one of my personal milestone. I immigrated here with my parents having pretty much nothing back in the early 80s (Legally; my Grandfather was in the U.S. Airforce). Worked from ground zero and barely made enough to get through college, when I decided the Z would be my dream car.

Worked hard to build a career, bought a house first, settled down, and with higher priorities out of the way, and gas prices not being too horrendous, I'm giving myself some overdue play time.




Very first thing I modded was replacing the hideous button blanks. It's a laser cut acrylic design I made myself. If you can't already tell, kinda a Star Trek fan, lol. Eventually I want to make the "Z" logo to replace that after future body mods.




Enough about me, it's a pleasure to be here! Now to gawk at all the nicely modded Zs for future ideas

I love your story and am so glad you shared it! The 3-button mod is great! I'm not overly crazy about Star Trek but now you've got me thinking about what I might be able to do.
Welcome and enjoy that well-deserved Z!

Thank you! Lol, yeah the Trekkie stuff is definitely an acquired taste. But it was more experimental and I had the template for the Trek Badge from another project so I used it to test the fit. I'm in the process of making a vector file for a mirror "Z" logo and eventually replace it with that. If you're interested in trying something similar, I can give you my corel files if you have access to a Laser cutter? I can show how I did it, if others want to try.
