New Owner - New Car - New Top - 100% Happy
 

1.5 months into a new ZR. I'm not going to complain. It's perfectly ok and I'm 100% happy.

But the first time I put my top down...the seam ripped about 12 inches. Probably due to buying a '12 that had sat for a long time. Also - it only had 9 miles on - so I know it had not been used.

Thankfully the dealer not only picked up/dropped off the car and gave me loaner for a week - but also replaced the entire top. I'm guess to the tune of around 10k. They ordered the new top, then sent it out to a local specialty shop for the install. Adjusted the windows to avoid it happening again.

It's been perfect so far - except a tiny little rattle in the driver's window -I'm guessing from the adjustment.

Attached are pics.

And yes - I've already started modding.

20mm H&R spacers all around
LEDs in every light
stubby antenna
Black Z hamburger emblems
Illuminated kick plates (one of the few options mine did not have)
Light tint going on windows and tails
GTMat in trunk - wheel wells to go
Will change the stock tires when I get some extra $$$
Ordered the back Nismo S-tune rear spats - shipping tomorrow


Since 08 I've had a 08' G35S sedan, '10 Mazda RX8, '11 Maxima SV sport (wrecked), '11 G37S coupe (rear ended) and then finally -- a 12' EX - fully custom. Still have a loaded '12 FX as well.

Better pics coming once I get the tint.

Hi

Whoot! Go mods! Nice work friend! :tup:

Congrats, I am envious ;-)
 

I tried for a long time to find the 370Z Roadster in Black with Touring, 6MT and sports package without any luck for either the 2012 or 2013. Finely found 2 choices, the Silver or the Black. Was going to buy the 2012 Black when the dealer finely fessed up over the phone and told me it was the sales managers demo and had almost 4K miles. While it was untitled I just couldn't do it, because in 5 or 6 other phone calls he never mentioned the mileage.

Ended up buying the Silver Roadster Touring with Sport Package 6MT. Lovin it... 3rd Z for me first two were the 1998 with T Tops ( still my fav ) Then moved to the 2008 Base and now the 2012 Roadster.

So far I've added Stubby Antenna, CAI and CBE, 20mm spacers on all 4 corners. Clutch spring next My first two Z's were Red and now despite thinking that the triple black is just awesome I'm finding that the Silver is just so much easier to care for finish wise. Still would have gotten Black if I could of found one that was really new, ( or maybe even the one with 4K if the dealershit didn't want the full price )

Question for you... I see you added the Z hamburger. Would like to do the same, but wondering how hard the old one was to remove. Also, what are the GTmats and what do you mean by wheel wells are next? I am also trying to find the Rear Spats, where did you get yours from?

Your Z sounds awesome, again congratulations.

Regards,

Jim

Congrats!! Looks great!!
