Lots of times I'll opt to leave the 370Z in the garage to take the 240Z out instead....

Wow that is the exact replica of my first Z, right down to the Bob Sharp air dam. The only difference is I had lens covers on the head lights. How I miss that car. It's because of that car, I became a Z fan. The 370 is my fourth!

The lens covers and air dam really transform the front end! When I had my 240, the lens covers only came in clear and weren't even pre-drilled with mounting holes. So I brained stormed and just painted the inside with black spray paint. Needless to say it looked awesome but wasn't worth a dam at night. I remember one night pulling out of a club and was pulled over, the officer commented on how great it looked but still made me take one off. That was back in the day when officers could be a little more lenient. Those were the days!
