New (to me) 2009 Touring with Sport Package

LunaZ · 04-05-2010, 08:56 PM

Hi guys, I'm Eric and I'm now part of the Z world.
I just picked up a 2009 Pearl White Touring with Sport Package with Persimmon Leather and Navigation.

It was pre-owned and only had 3800 miles on it. Got it for $33,700.
I'm pretty pleased about it. It has everything I wanted, plus Navigation which wasn't necessary for me but fun now that I have it.

Here's some pics:

I just got it tinted today by SSC Tint & Graphics in Elizabethtown, PA

I ordered my JDM/Euro Spec Rear Fog Light Kit for The Z Store today and I'll be calling Tony at Fast Intentions tomorrow to get on that long list of people who want his exhaust.

I'm coming from a Mazdaspeed3, so having all this low end torque and a motor that pulls all day is new to me, but I'm having a blast and enjoying how luxurious the car is inside.

Looking forward to reading about all your mods and learning what's what with this car.

- Eric

Congrats!

It's funny to hear different people's takes on this car based on what they are coming from. I come from big V8s so I kind of laugh a little bit when I hear "low end torque" and "Z" in the same sentence... but alas, it's such a fun car! Enjoy it!

And you are making a great choice going with FI!!!

Nice! PW is the best color, they've done studies and found that only cool people drive pearl white cars

What % tint did you go with? I think I may end up with 35%, but I'm still undecided.

I did 45% SunTek Carbon on the doors and 35% on the hatch and corner windows.
Even the 45% looks dark because it's a white car. I went lighter than most people go because I didn't want to attract too much po-po attention. My Mazdaspeed3 had 20% all around and I was paying a $100 looking cool tax every other week with it until I went lighter on the front doors.

I'm really happy with the outcome. I think it's just the right amount of tint to look cool and give a little bit of privacy and sun protection without looking like I'm trouble.
I can do that on my own without any extra help!

I had 15% on my Eclipse and it was a pain to see out of at night, but it looked good :-P. I'm thinking 35% all around (legal limit in KY for side, behind driver is 20%). Dark enough to look sleek but still retain the classy appeal of the car.

Looks Great, Enjoy!

LunaZ · 04-06-2010, 09:03 PM

Woohoo! #139 on the Fast Intentions exhaust list.
